Effectiveness and satisfaction of fully self-service fundus disease screening among middle-aged individuals: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open 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
purposeTo investigate the imaging quality, efficiency and satisfaction of fully self-service fundus photography compared with traditional fundus photography performed by experienced operators among middle-aged individuals.
methodsParticipants aged 45-64 in the community of Shanghai were included, and eye disease screenings were carried out after obtaining informed consent. All participants had no cataracts or other conditions that could potentially compromise the quality of fundus imaging. Participants voluntarily chose the fully self-service fundus photography group or the traditional fundus photography group. A statistical analysis was performed to analyse the imaging quality, efficiency and satisfaction of self-service fundus photography.
resultsWe included 457 individuals with an average age of 56.93 years. Fully self-service fundus photography produces similar imaging quality to manual examinations. Additionally, this photography significantly increases residents' willingness to undergo eye disease screening again, particularly among those with better visual acuity, compared with traditional doctor-led screenings.
conclusionsThis study confirms the reliability of fully self-service fundus photography, and its ability to enhance compliance and willingness for follow-up screenings among individuals aged 45-64. Promoting fully self-service fundus photography is beneficial for screening blinding eye diseases in the middle-aged population. Given the limited geographical scope and age range of this study, larger multicentre studies are needed to confirm the broader applicability of fully self-service fundus photography and to establish effective screening models for high-risk occupational populations.
