[Enucleations, eviscerations and orbital implants in German eye hospitals].
Article in Die Ophthalmologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEvaluation of the number of enucleations and eviscerations performed in Germany and the orbital implants used.
methodAnalysis of the quality reports of German ophthalmological clinics for the years 2012-2021 provided by the Federal Joint Committee (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss, G‑BA).
resultsAlmost 10 times as many enucleations (8368) as eviscerations (975) are performed in Germany. After enucleation, alloplastic implants are used most frequently (44.6% alloplastic, no further specification, 30.0% alloplastic coated, no further specification; 14.1% microporous implants) and autologous dermis-fat grafts in 6.1% of the cases.
conclusionIn Germany, significantly more enucleations than eviscerations are performed. Alloplastic orbital implants are preferred for primary reconstruction following enucleation.
