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

introductionAs physician awareness of our contributions to climate change increases, efforts to implement sustainable practices in ophthalmology are gaining momentum. Healthcare professionals are trusted voices in their communities and are therefore well suited to advocate for the systemic and policy changes necessary to address climate change and protect human health in equitable ways. PURPOSE: In this case report, we highlight the efforts of one physician to drive change and advocate for more sustainable practices in ophthalmology as well as the creation of EyeSustain, a global organization dedicated to this mission. CASE DISCUSSION: EyeSustain is a multisociety-backed, ophthalmology-specific sustainability initiative that centralizes resources, research, and information on sustainable practices in healthcare. The initiative has grown to include over 50 global member societies and is sponsored by major ophthalmology organizations, demonstrating widespread support for reducing waste and improving sustainability in ophthalmic practice. The efforts of one passionate physician, now an EyeSustain Advisory board member, are showcased and expanded upon on the website EyeSustain.org. EyeSustain.org serves as a comprehensive platform, offering tools, recommendations, and resources to help ophthalmologists and support staff reduce waste in operating rooms and clinics, develop sustainable practices, and to provide education about the ocular effects of climate change. As a centralized global resource, EyeSustain builds collaboration and provides clinicians and staff with tools and streamlined avenues for communication to foster a more sustainable healthcare system.

conclusionThe model of EyeSustain provides a blueprint for other medical specialties to follow in addressing health impacts of climate change, medical waste, and healthcare sustainability.
