The Rise of Ophthalmology as a Specialty: Albrecht von Graefe's Pioneering Contributions.
Review in Cureus, 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
Albrecht von Graefe (1828-1870) is celebrated as a pivotal figure in the evolution of ophthalmology. He is renowned for his transformative contributions that established the field as a distinct medical specialty separate from general surgery. This biography review delves into von Graefe's pioneering efforts that reshaped ophthalmology, highlighting his innovations and establishing fundamental practices that define modern ophthalmic care. von Graefe's introduction of iridectomy for glaucoma, development of specialized surgical instruments, and advocacy for the use of the ophthalmoscope marked significant advancements in treating eye disorders. Additionally, his role in founding the first ophthalmological society and journal underscored his commitment to creating a structured, scientific approach to the field. Through meticulous examination of his work and its impact, this article underscores how von Graefe's pioneering spirit and dedication fostered the growth of ophthalmology into an independent and respected medical specialty.
