1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 rapid development and increasing popularity of smartphones have led to their gradual integration as essential aids in medical examinations and teaching tools. The smartphone ophthalmoscope (SO) is one of them. Specifically, SO is comprised of a smartphone and an attachment. The smartphone serves as a versatile device for recording and transmitting information, while the attachment functions as a tool for phone fixation as well as focus adjustment and providing light resources, albeit with slight variations across different devices. Presently, the convenience, universality, and transferability of SO have greatly expanded its potential in fields of clinical practice and ocular teaching. The review provides a concise overview of the contemporary SO devices, elucidates the diseases amenable to assessment
