Quality indicators to ensure excellence in glaucoma care: the GlauCCare Spanish consensus.
Article in BMJ open ophthalmology, 2025. 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
topicTo develop quality indicators to be included for the certification of excellence care in glaucoma units in Spain. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The certificate of excellence in care in glaucoma units is expected to enhance clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction, but also to optimise the use of resources and promote an efficient and effective patient care system.
methodsThe Delphi methodology was used to obtain a consensus on quality indicators in glaucoma care. The scientific committee and an advisory group created a 182-item questionnaire classified by indicator type: care structure, care process and outcomes. A two-round Delphi survey was conducted among a panel of expert ophthalmologists in Spain, and a 9-point Likert-type scale was used for data analysis.
resultsAfter the two rounds, 39 panellists reached consensus on 166 out of 182 items (91.2%). By indicator type, consensus was reached on 38 (88.4%) indicators related to care structure, on 85 (87.6%) indicators related to care process and on all indicators 42 (100%) related to outcomes.
conclusionThis consensus identified a set of quality indicators that will help to develop the certification of excellence in glaucoma care units. This certification will facilitate best clinical practices and better health outcomes for glaucoma patients. Limitations of the study include the consensus nature of results, potential bias from the lengthy questionnaire and the focus on experts only in Spain, limiting generalisability.
