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

Accommodation is a dynamic change in the dioptric power of the eye. According to the widely accepted and experimentally confirmed theory of Helmholtz, it is achieved by release of zonular tension with contraction of the ciliary muscle and consecutive modelling of the shape of the crystalline lens by the elastic lens capsule. The ability to accommodate is gradually lost with age (presbyopia). Because of difficulties in examining the accommodative apparatus in vivo, many theories, in part contradictory, about the mechanism of accommodation and the origin of presbyopia have been developed. In recent years experimental studies have greatly increased the knowledge about the acommodative apparatus and suggest a multifactorial aetiology of presbyopia. A better understanding of the physiology of accommodation and presbyopia can contribute to the development of effective treatments.
