Nurse-Led Model in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: An Exploratory Scoping Review of Nurses' Roles and Contributions.
Review in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: As the growing number of diabetic retinopathy (DR), the demands for screening requests and eye care services are expected to increase. While different screening models have been reported, there are several articles in literature of nurse-led DR screening. The purpose of this review was to define the roles and contributions of nurses in DR screening, identify the necessary supports required, and address the challenges that need to be resolved. Methods: The literature search for the included articles was performed in the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science. This search was conducted from the start of May 2025. Two reviewers independently screened all articles. If predefined inclusion criteria were met, the studies were further descriptive content, and data were summarized and individually evaluated. Results: From a total of 126 citations, 15 articles were selected for inclusion in the final review. Currently, nine countries globally are actively developing and implementing nurse-led DR screening models, with Australia leading in the number of such programs. Our search of literatures demonstrated the roles and contributions of nurse-led DR screening encompass research and leadership, consultancy, health management, technical expertise, and data collection. The supports required and challenges faced include transforming traditional screening models, providing adequate training, securing financial resources, and enhancing career motivation. Conclusion: The nurse-led model is a promising approach in DR screening that integrates eye examinations, diabetes education, data collection and fundus imaging within a single encounter, thereby improving efficiency and lowering costs. It may thus be considered a scalable approach for the future expansion of screening programs.
