[What do patients want in clinical trials? : Perspectives from ophthalmology and patient advocacy groups].
Review in Die Ophthalmologie, 2026. 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
backgroundParticipation in clinical trials often involves uncertainty despite high patient interest.
objectiveTo summarize patient perspectives and derive recommendations for patient-centered clinical trial design in ophthalmology. MATERIAL AND
methodsStructured review integrating the literature and experiences from patient organizations and clinical trial centers.
resultsUnderstandable clarification, realistic communication of expectancy, accessible information and study centers, continuity of care and contact persons, transparent cost regulation and reduction of logistical burdens are crucial for participation and retention in studies. Patient self-help organizations and ophthalmologists play a key role in information dissemination. After trial completion, participants expect feedback on group allocation, study results and further treatment options.
conclusionEarly patient involvement and patient-oriented study design improve feasibility, recruitment, retention and ethical quality of clinical research. A timely incorporation of self-help, comprehensible communication and practical study trajectories are decisive.
