The effects of self-video feedback on the eyedrop instillation techniques of glaucoma patients: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTo evaluate the effectiveness of instillation technique education using self-video feedback in glaucoma patients.
methodsSixty-two patients who self-instilled glaucoma eyedrops were randomly assigned to the self-video feedback and control groups according to the block randomization. Each group of the patient was asked to instill eyedrops, and videos were recorded. For the control group, only an educational video was provided. In the self-video feedback group, the patients provided educational video and feedback using a recorded video of their own instillation. After 1 month of education, the patient's instillation techniques were video-recorded again. We divided the steps of instilling eyedrops into ten steps and evaluated whether each step was properly performed using the recorded images from each patient. The main outcome was the proportion of patients who properly instilled their eyedrops in each step.
resultsBefore education, there was no significant difference in the proportion of patients who were properly instilled between the two groups. In the group that received video feedback, the proportion of patients who instilled the eyedrops correctly after education in some items was significantly higher than that of the control group, and in particular, the educational effect of 'avoids touching dropper to eyelid or eyelash' was superior.
conclusionsIn patients with glaucoma, education on the method of instillation was effective in improving the techniques of instillation. In the items that required accurate actions, the video feedback that allowed the patient to observe themselves had a better improvement effect compared to the traditional education method.
