Restoring Sight with Retinal Prostheses.
Article in Physics today, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Vision begins when the eye's optical system-the cornea, iris, and crystalline lens-projects an image onto the retina, the thin and nearly transparent sheet of neural tissue that lines the back of the eye (see figure 1). Photoreceptors located at the back of the retina transduce incident photons into neural signals that are relayed to the brain. Those signals form the basis for visual perception. In humans, cone photoreceptors, which number about 6 million, dominate the central region of the visual field and are responsible for color and high-resolution day vision. Rod photoreceptors, which number about 120 million, dominate the periphery and mediate night vision.
