THERMAL ANALYSIS OF INTRAOCULAR ELECTRONIC DISPLAY PROJECTOR VISUAL PROSTHESIS.
Article in Numerical heat transfer. Part A, Applications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Corneal opacity is a leading cause of blindness, accounting for about 4% of global blindness. With corneal opacity, light is unable to pass through the cornea to form a clear image on the retina, resulting in blindness. To address this condition, an intraocular projection device has been designed. This device, while in use, would produce heat. According to international standard regulations, the temperature on the surface of the tissues should not increase more than 2°C due to medical devices. In order to establish the power budget of this intraocular electronic device, a steady state thermal finite element analysis was conducted on two different eye models. The device was placed at 9.98 mm from the retina, and was seen to run up to a maximum power of 82 mW for the first model and 91 mW for the second model. To reduce heating of tissues, the device was extended by 0.5 mm to create an air gap which acted as an insulator. The temperature in the nearest living tissue then dropped below the prescribed limit of 2°C at 100 mW.
