New Directions for Ophthalmic OCT - Handhelds, Surgery, and Robotics.
Review in Translational vision science & technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The introduction of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the 1990s revolutionized diagnostic ophthalmic imaging. Initially, OCT's role was primarily in the adult ambulatory ophthalmic clinics. Subsequent advances in handheld form factors, integration into surgical microscopes, and robotic assistance have expanded OCT's utility and impact outside of its initial environment in the adult outpatient ophthalmic clinic. In this review, we cover the use of OCT in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment with a handheld OCT, recent developments in intraoperative OCT for data visualization and measurements, and recent work and demonstration of robotically aligned OCT systems outside of eye clinics. Of note, advances in these areas are a legacy of our colleague, the late Joseph Izatt. OCT has been an important innovation for ocular diagnostics, and these advances have helped it continue to extend in new directions.
