Abstract:Objective To investigate the present situation of non-Cochrane systematic reviews and Meta-analysis published in the field of ophthalmology.Methods PubMed and EMBASE database were searched by their intelligent search function to find systematic reviews and Meta-analysis in the field of Ophthalmology up to 30 January 2017.Duplicate researches and Cochrane systematic reviews were excluded by Endnote software.Irrelevant studies were excluded by reading titles,abstracts and full text.The final included studies were classified according to author′s source,publication years,study types and so on.Results A total of 10 369 records were identified.After excluding Cochrane systematic reviews(882),duplicated studies(1586)and unrelated studies(6480),1421 studies were included in the final analysis.The classification analysis to be included in the study showed that authors came from 53 countries participated in the publication of these articles.The top three countries were China(441,31.03%),USA(229,16.12%)and UK(204,14.36%).A total of 433 different journals published these studies,and the top three journals were PLoS One(102,7.18%),Ophthalmology(97,6.83%),and Br J Ophthalmol(57,4.01%).The top three diseases were retinal disease(463,32.58%),glaucoma(226,15.90%)and cataract(120,8.44%).Qualitative study accounted for a large proportion(548,38.56%),and the remainder were quantitative studies(873,61.44%),the latter included 411 interventional studies(47.08%)and 462 observational studies(52.2%).Conclusion The amount of systematic reviews and meta-analysis in the field of ophthalmology has been increased year by year,and more and more authors coming from different countries are actively participating in this field,especially in China.Retinal disease and glaucoma are still the focus of the current study.With the gradual increase of high-quality clinical evidence for ophthalmology,they will provide a strong and effective guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases.
