First implantation of retinal prosthesis in a patient with high myopia after surgery and rehabilitation program in Taiwan.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The implantation of the Argus II retinal prosthesis system in a 54-year-old woman with retinitis pigmentosa who presented with an eye of long axial length at 26.82 mm was successful. Postoperative examination revealed a gap of 700 µm between the electrode array and the retina, which caused decreased visual perception. A modified strategy with quad and quinary electrode stimulation was introduced to generate higher perceptual thresholds. The patient experienced visual functional changes during the first half of the year after surgery, although no remarkable difference was observed in terms of implant-retina distance. Fibrosis around the tack developed and extended between the gap with the retina elevated from the tack toward the center array, 8 months after the surgery. Schisis of the retina developed and filled the gap, resulting in decreased threshold, and the strategy was then shifted back to single electrode stimulation mode. Rehabilitation program is an evolving process that depends on the distance between the array and the retina in the eye with staphyloma. This study first showed the implantation in a patient with high myopia who presented with long axial length after surgery and rehabilitation program in Taiwan.
