Patricia E. Bath: A Luminary in Ophthalmology.
Review in Cureus, 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
Renowned ophthalmologist and inventor Dr. Patricia Bath made ground-breaking contributions to medicine. After seeing that blindness was more common among Black patients, she focused much of her career on improving access to eye care for underserved communities. Bath's most important contributions to her field of ophthalmology were the inventions of community ophthalmology and the laserphaco probe. Community ophthalmology improves access to eye care by combining treatment, education, and preventive care into a coherent program targeted toward serving underprivileged populations. The laserphaco probe combines laser fragmentation with ultrasonic removal, which greatly improves the accuracy and safety of cataract surgery. Laser technology's precision also reduces the possibility of surgical mistakes, thus increasing success rates and improving the general results. Apart from improving the quality of life for many people, Dr. Bath's inventions established a new benchmark in blindness prevention and cataract therapy, thus guiding modern ophthalmology and ocular surgery.
