Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2025. 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
backgroundVisual impairment increases with age and can adversely affect the quality of life of older people. Ophthalmological care in nursing homes is often inadequate, leading to poor detection and treatment of visual problems. The prevention program "Good vision in care facilities" ("Gutes Sehen in Pflegeeinrichtungen") of the Institute for the Blind Foundation (Blindeninstitutsstiftung) aims to promote the eye health of residents through targeted measures and the training of qualified vision officers.
objectiveThe aim was to evaluate the prevention program from the perspective of the vision officers, focusing on their role, the performance of vision assessments, the improvement of the living environment and the qualification measures.
methodA qualitative evaluation study was conducted through guideline-based interviews with eight vision officers from seven nursing homes. The data were analyzed using Mayring's structured content analysis.
resultsVision officers consider their role to be important but the success of implementation depends on the available resources. The performance of vision assessment varies due to cognitive impairment and motivation of the residents. Barriers to accessibility were primarily addressed when minimal effort was required. Face to face training sessions contribute significantly to awareness due to their practical content and interaction.
conclusionThe sustainable implementation of the prevention program requires resource allocation by nursing home management. The qualification of several vision officers in each facility could increase the success of the program. Alternative methods of vision assessment for cognitively impaired residents should be developed.
