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

Telemedicine is rapidly expanding in eye care, yet evidence on patient satisfaction and perceived quality is limited, restricting wider clinical adoption and integration. This study aimed to: i) compare satisfaction rates in tele-ophthalmology versus in-person eye care; ii) assess overall patient satisfaction within tele-ophthalmology services. This systematic review was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews ID: CRD420251218938). We used random-effects meta-analyses to pool comparative satisfaction odds ratios (tele-ophthalmology vs. in-person care) and to calculate overall tele-ophthalmology satisfaction proportions. Heterogeneity was quantified using the I
