Are you seeing this: the impact of steep Trendelenburg position during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy on intraocular pressure: a brief review of the literature.
Synthesis in Journal of robotic surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
With the increasing popularity, frequency, and acceptance of the robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy procedure, an awareness of unique intra- and postoperative complications is heightened, including that of increases in intraocular pressure. The steep Trendelenburg positioning required for operative exposure has been shown to increase this value. While the literature is infrequent and undeveloped, certain anesthetic parameters including deep neuromuscular blockade, modified positioning, and the use of dexmedetomidine have been shown to have mild-to-modest decreases in intraocular pressure for baseline. In the four randomized control trials and four observational studies that were found via PubMed/Medline search, the aforementioned techniques demonstrate some preliminary evidence of operative considerations in this unique patient population. These modifications may prove to have even greater significance in patients with pre-existing ophthalmologic pathologies, such as glaucoma, which were excluded from the studies' analyses. This review summarizes the early literature obtained in this subject, with the intent of emphasizing the initial hypotheses and identifying areas for future study.
