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

Background: Ophthalmic pathology has been of paramount importance for the development of medical and surgical ophthalmology. Unfortunately, many laboratories are being closed down due to short-sighted financial reasons. This lecture aims at demonstrating the continuing significance of this subspecialty even in modern times. Summary: Various examples from different structures of the eye (conjunctiva, cornea, retina) are illustrated to document the relevance of a profound knowledge of ophthalmic pathology for the advancement of both medical and surgical treatment. Key Message: The impact of ophthalmic pathology even in the era of genetics and molecular biology continues to advance our knowledge substantially on behalf of the best possible treatment of our patients.
