Intraocular lens models: Ecological distribution footprint and usage trends at a large ophthalmology centre.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundOperating theatres significantly contribute to hospital's environmental footprint, underscoring the need to evaluate the ecological impact of transporting surgical products. Intraocular lenses (IOLs), sourced globally, vary in their environmental impact due to differences in packaging and manufacturing. Assessing the carbon footprint of IOL transport and usage can promote sustainability.
methodsA retrospective analysis of IOL stock data at Rothschild Foundation Hospital, Paris, was conducted to evaluate all IOLs implanted in 2023. To estimate the ecological footprint of IOL transport, the packaging weight of each model was measured, and the EcoTransIT online calculator was used.
resultsIn 2023, a total of 13,894 IOLs from 62 different models were implanted by 112 ophthalmic surgeons at our institution. Carbon dioxide (CO
