An update on human visual prosthesis: The Claes H. Dohlman lecture 2025.
Review in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. 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
This abstract serves to report on the available evidence on the different retinal and visual prostheses for patients with retinitis pigmentosa and other vision-threatening disorders with additional discussion on the ethical implications of such devices. The PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ClinicalTrials databases were the main resources used for the literature search. An extensive search was performed to identify relevant literature and clinical trials regarding the advances and status of retinal prostheses up to January 2025. Eight devices were found to be current and were ordered by stimulation location. Five have active clinical trials. There are 7 main ethical considerations identified in the literature. Future directions will be presented in the review. This manuscript provides an update on human visual prosthetics, both current and discontinued. While some devices have achieved visual perception in animals and/or humans, there are still challenges to address in the field. Future efforts are headed toward more biocompatible, safe, ethical, and efficacious devices.
