Discrepancies in the concordance of self-reported vision status and visual acuity in the Salisbury Eye Evaluation Study.
Article in Ophthalmology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
purposeTo examine the association between self-rated vision and distance visual acuity by race and other factors.
designCross-sectional analysis within a longitudinal, population-based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROLS: Two thousand five hundred twenty individuals, 65 to 84 years of age, including 666 black participants and 1854 white participants.
methodsAll participants reported their self-rated vision score. Binocular distance visual acuity was assessed. Based on the level of visual acuity and the self-reported vision score, participants were placed into concordant and discrepant groups.
main outcome measuresMultinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the characteristics associated with concordant and discrepant groups.
resultsBlack participants were more likely to be represented in the discordant group that reported good vision but had acuity worse than 20/40. In the multivariate analysis, a per-year decrement in years of education received increased the odds of being in both discrepant groups, one that reported good vision but had a visual acuity worse than 20/40 (odds ratio, 1.21; P<0.0001) and the other discrepant group that reported bad vision but had a visual acuity of 20/40 or better (odds ratio, 1.04; P<0.0001). A per-year decrement in years of education received also seemed to explain the excess risk of black race in the discrepant group that reported good vision but had a visual acuity worse than 20/40.
conclusionsGiven the socioeconomically driven discrepancies in self-reported vision status, self-reported vision status should be used cautiously in surveillance surveys, especially when assessing vision inequalities between socioeconomic groups.
