1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

abstractAccessibility to the Internet and computer systems has prompted the gravitation towards digital learning in medicine, including ophthalmology. Using the PubMed database and Google search engine, current initiatives in ophthalmology that serve as alternatives to traditional in-person learning with the purpose of enhancing clinical and surgical training were reviewed. This includes the development of teleeducation modules, construction of libraries of clinical and surgical videos, conduction of didactics via video communication, and the implementation of simulators and intelligent tutoring systems into clinical and surgical training programs. In this age of digital communication, teleophthalmology programs, virtual ophthalmological society meetings, and online examinations have become necessary for conducting clinical work and educational training in ophthalmology, especially in light of recent global events that have prevented large gatherings as well as the rural location of various populations. Looking forward, web-based modules and resources, artificial intelligence-based systems, and telemedicine programs will augment current curricula for ophthalmology trainees.
