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

backgroundThe main causes of blindness, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma and diabetic eye diseases (DED), are becoming increasingly more important in terms of health economics due to the demographic developments.

objectiveThe current screening recommendations for these diseases and the underlying evidence are presented. MATERIAL AND

methodsA detailed literature search was conducted and the recommendations of the relevant guidelines of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF) were summarized.

resultsThere are current screening recommendations for glaucoma and DED but there is still no consensus with respect to AMD. Screening for DED is financed by the statutory health insurance (SHI) and offered as part of routine care. Glaucoma screening is only covered by the SHI if certain risk factors are present and is not yet implemented across the board.

conclusionThere are established screening programs for DED that are financed by the SHI; however, there are AWMF recommendations for glaucoma but no SHI-financed screening programs and there are still no AWMF screening recommendations for AMD. Whether and to what extent screening programs are used by the respective target populations should be further investigated in studies.
