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

Vision is a significant determinant of quality of life and autonomy in older people. It declines with age due to natural processes. In the general population this is exacerbated by age-related eye diseases, such as cataract, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. The resulting impairments can lead to reduced mobility, independence and mental health and physiological ageing processes of the eye and disease-related changes in visual function are therefore associated with increased morbidity, such as an increased risk of falls and depression. Treatment, prevention and rehabilitation measures can significantly reduce the impairment of older people caused by age-related eye diseases. In order to keep pace with the increasing demand for care and to maintain vision at the highest possible level into old age, not only targeted and timely ophthalmological care are necessary but also more prevention in the field of age-related eye diseases.
