Climate-Conscious Glaucoma Care: Strategies to Minimize the Environmental Impact in the Operating Room and in the Clinic.
Review in Journal of ophthalmology, 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
The healthcare sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. There is an increasing prevalence of glaucoma, and glaucoma surgeries, nonsurgical treatment, and clinic follow-up contribute to these emissions. Some of the main sources of emissions associated with glaucoma care are related to transportation to and from surgical centers and clinic, single use equipment and eye drops, excessive device packaging, and waste produced in the operating room. There are several changes we can make to our practice patterns to help mitigate these emissions while maintaining safe and effective care for our glaucoma patients. We should emphasize disinfecting equipment properly rather than purchasing single-use items. We should perform procedures that utilize equipment that is locally available and recommend manufacturers to use smaller packages for glaucoma devices. We should strive to perform bilateral procedures when safe for patients. Finally, we should integrate telehealth into our regular practice.
