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
backgroundGlaucoma care has extended enormously in recent years. We performed a survey among the members of the German Ophthalmological Society (DOG) and the Professional Association of Ophthalmologists in Germany (BVA) to explore treatment patterns, the importance of different diagnostic parameters as well as treatment guidelines in the daily practice of glaucoma care.
objectiveAssessment of the current practice of glaucoma care among German ophthalmologists, evaluation of key diagnostic parameters and their use in daily practice. MATERIAL AND
methodsOur survey was conducted using an online questionnaire that consisted of 26 questions (107 items) about the treatment practice for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Complete responses were available from 1361 participants.
resultsSlit-lamp examination still remains the most important tool for diagnosis in glaucoma. A very high ranking was also achieved for optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters. With respect to clinical interpretation and diagnostic certainty parameters analyzing the optic disc were ranked higher than others. Guideline-oriented care is being practiced by the vast majority of ophthalmologists according to self-reported results-two thirds perform perimetry two or more times and a structural analysis once in the first year after diagnosis. The importance of gonioscopy is controversial among the survey participants and is therefore being practiced with different intensity. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of glaucoma is challenging. Different diagnostic parameters are of different values to the ophthalmologists. Morphometric tools have achieved a highly important role for the diagnosis of glaucoma and enable assisted, yet not automated diagnosis. Treatment guidelines and standards are requested and should be implemented in education and care practice.
