The accommodative lag of the young hyperopic patient.
Article in Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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 determine the accommodative accuracy of infants and young children before they had had any form of clinical intervention or treatment, in an attempt to determine the difference between 'normal' and 'abnormal' visual experience for these individuals.
methodsNott retinoscopy was performed on 111 subjects in binocular viewing conditions at a viewing distance of 50 cm. The target was a naturalistic cartoon image with a broadband spatial frequency amplitude spectrum.
resultsAccommodative accuracy was not related to age (4-90 months). In the group found to have no apparent clinical abnormality (n = 71), the mean lag in the more hyperopic meridian of the least ametropic eye was 0.34 diopters (D). When considering the group as a whole, those with less than approximately 4 D of hyperopia demonstrated similar lags, while those with higher hyperopia, amblyopia, or strabismus had more variable lags. An ROC analysis designed to detect hyperopia >5 D in any meridian, amblyopia and/or strabismus had an area under the curve of 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82 to 0.95), and for a lag criterion of 1.3 D had a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 96.5%.
conclusionsThese data from a relatively small but broad sampling of age and clinical status suggest that clinically normal young infants and children with low amounts of hyperopia have similar lags of accommodation from the first few months after birth. Subjects with greater than 4 D of hyperopia, or amblyopia or strabismus, have more variable lags and therefore evidence of abnormal visual experience.
