Can patients with visual impairment follow a normal school?
Article in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo highlight the needs for socio-professional orientation of patients with visual impairment. MATERIAL AND
methodsProspective observational study on 69 patients (47 boys and 22 girls), with a mean age of 15,99±3,4235 years, evaluated in the Ophthalmology Clinic of "Sf. Spiridon" Hospital Iaşi, in order to obtain a medical certificate. Clinical parameters: slit lamp examination, fundoscopy, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, orthoptic exam, ocular ultrasound, or corneal pachymetry (in selected cases). A questionnaire for the age group of 12-18 years was applied. Data were statistically analyzed by using the Student's t-test.
resultsSixteen patients had ocular prosthesis or visual acuity 0 in one eye and 31 patients had a low vision. Patient's diagnosis: anterior segment diseases (23,18%), posterior segment diseases (52,17%), other diagnoses (24,63%). The pathology was congenital in 60,86% of the cases. 13,04% of the patients (3 school children and 6 students) asked for the integration into normal school/ university. Frequent answers: lack of special means of assistance in schools/ universities, need for additional schooling, people's reluctance which led to situations of ridicule, dependence on others to perform daily activities, need for professional help.
conclusionsChildren with eye deficiencies can be scholarized in normal an educational system, according to the level of intelligence. Adolescents with eye disorders may attend University courses if proper aids are provided. Socio-professional orientation should be performed as early as possible to increase the quality of life in sighted patients. Aids for low-vision patients are insufficiently used in Romania.
