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
purposeOur aim was to compare the electroretinographic (ERG) responses of two eyes obtained by consecutive unilateral recordings to those obtained by a simultaneous bilateral recording in sheep.
methodsEight sheep underwent two full-field ERG recordings, using two recording strategies of the standard ISCEV protocol: consecutive unilateral recordings of one eye after the other, and simultaneous bilateral recording of both eyes. The order of recording strategy within an animal (unilateral/bilateral), eye recording sequence in the unilateral session (OD/OS), and amplifier channel assignment for each eye were all randomized. To test whether duration of dark adaptation and/or anesthesia affect the results, the ISCEV protocol was recorded bilaterally in six additional eyes following 38 min of patched dark adaptation, as was done for the second eye recorded in the consecutive unilateral recordings.
resultsThe second recorded eye in the unilateral session had significantly higher scotopic b-wave amplitudes compared to the first recorded eye and to the bilaterally recorded eyes. A-wave amplitudes of the dark-adapted mixed rod-cone responses to a high-intensity flash were also significantly higher in the second eye compared to the first eye recorded unilaterally and to the bilaterally recorded eyes. Light-adapted responses were unaffected by the recording strategy. When the ISCEV protocol was recorded after 38 min of dark adaptation, the scotopic responses were higher than in the first eyes, and similar to those of the second eyes recorded unilaterally, suggesting that indeed the longer duration of anesthesia and dark adaptation are responsible for the increased scotopic responses of the second eye.
conclusionsConsecutive unilateral ERG recordings of two eyes result in higher amplitudes of the dark-adapted responses of the eye recorded second, compared to the eye recorded first and to bilaterally recorded eyes. The differences in scotopic responses can be attributed to different duration of dark adaptation and/or anesthesia of the two consecutively recorded eyes. Photopic responses are not affected. Therefore, simultaneous bilateral ERG responses should be recorded when possible, especially for evaluation of scotopic responses.
