[Ophthalmology 2019-where do we stand? : An analysis of the treatment situation in Germany].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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 needs-based provision of medical services to the population represents a challenge for ophthalmology, not least as eye diseases become more frequent with age. Age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataract occur particularly often. So far only few current population-based data have been available in Germany; however, this is currently changing with several ongoing population-based cohort studies, such as the Gutenberg Health Study, the National Cohort and the Rhineland Study. Preliminary data from the Gutenberg Health Study show that the expected increase in the prevalence of eye diseases with ageing has occurred and the development is comparable with international data from industrial countries. Over the last 15 years age-related eye diseases have increased by 15-34% due to demographic changes. The number of ophthalmologists increased during this period by 19%; however, as an ever increasing proportion do not work full time, the treatment time in ophthalmology only increased by 1%. Particularly in the working relationship of private practice employees, more ophthalmologists are now working than 15 years ago, the majority in part-time employment, whereas the number of self-employed ophthalmologists has declined. For ophthalmological care planning it is important to consider not only the age-related increase in patients but also the changes in treatment capacity, which cannot be solely derived from the absolute number of actively involved ophthalmologists.
