Article in Beyoglu eye journal, 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
Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the criteria that play a role in the selection of ophthalmic surgeons in the Turkish society and to compare the choices of 662 individuals who are healthcare professionals (Group-1) and 517 non-healthcare professionals (Group-2) as well as different demographic subgroups. Methods: A total of 1,179 subjects participated in the online survey between March-June 2024. After collecting demographic data, the subjects were asked to select an eye surgeon among six representative images prepared by the artificial intelligence software with three questions. These three questions first asked for age and gender, then included academic title in the selection. Lastly, age was kept constant. Results: The mean age of the participants was 44.85±12.94 (18-80) years and the M/F ratio was 0.53. In the first question, the preference for middle-aged male surgeons was the highest with 349 (52.7%) in Group-1 and 215 (41.6%) in Group-2 (p≤0.001). In the second question, the highest preferences were for 'Associate Professor' middle-aged male surgeon with 271 (40.9%) in Group-1 and 'Professor' older aged male surgeon with 155 (30%) in Group-2 (p≤0.001). In the last question, the highest preferences were 'Associate Professor' male surgeon with 205 (31%) in Group-1 and 'Professor' male surgeon with 188 (36.4%) in Group-2 (p≤0.001). Conclusion: The selection of ophthalmic surgeon is predominantly male and middle-aged, though this rate was higher in Group-1. It is also evident that academic title has a significant effect on the selection and alters the distribution. This effect is more pronounced in Group-2, among female and below the mean age participants. Although the predominance of male surgeons persists, it was observed that female and above the mean age participants were more inclined to select a female surgeon.
