Primary eye care: opportunities for health system strengthening and improved access to services.
Article in International health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Primary eye care (PEC) is a vital component of primary healthcare (PHC) and is the cornerstone for the progress towards universal eye health coverage. While the concept of PEC is not new, with the increased focus of the global eye-health agenda on equity and people-centred care, it is critical to review experiences of delivering PEC in low- and middle-income countries and to identify common lessons learnt. This commentary builds on the available evidence and focuses specifically on three recently published evaluations of PEC in Sightsavers-supported programmes in Tanzania, Sierra Leone and Pakistan. It argues that systems thinking is critical in the delivery of PEC interventions, as only this approach can ensure that the integration of PEC into PHC is delivered in a comprehensive, coherent and sustainable way.
