Addressing the Third Epidemic of Retinopathy of Prematurity Through Telemedicine and Technology: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The rising prevalence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in low- and middle-income countries has increased the need for screening at-risk infants. The purpose of this article was to review the impact of tele-medicine and technology on ROP screening programs. Adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic review was performed using PubMed, Pro-Quest, and Google Scholar bibliographic search engine. Terms searched included retinopathy of prematurity, telemedicine, and tele-ophthalmology. Data regarding internet access and gross domestic product per capita were obtained from the World Bank. Information was also obtained about internet access, speeds, and costs in low-income countries. There has been increasing integration of telemedicine and technology for ROP screening and management. Low-income countries are using available internet options and information and communications technology for ROP screening, which can aid in addressing the unique challenges faced by low-income countries. This provides a promising solution to the third epidemic of ROP by expanding and improving screening and management. Although telemedicine systems may serve as a cost-effective approach to facilitate delivery of health care, programs (especially in lowand middle-income countries) require national support to maintain its infrastructure.
