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

Visual field defects interfere with free actions and influence the quality of life of patients with retinitis pigmentosa; the prevalence of this disease is increasing in aging societies. Patients with progressive disease may require visual aids; however, no such devices are currently available. We utilized a retinal projection eyewear system, QD laser eyewear, which includes a projector inside the spectacle frame, to draw the image taken by a connected portable camera with a wide field lens. The images are projected onto the retina using a Maxwellian view optical system, which is not influenced by refractive error or the amount of incident light. Goldmann perimetry and figure recognition tests with the QD laser eyewear showed increased visual field areas and angles, and shortened the time for recognition of the number of figures in a sheet, in a limited visual field model that we developed by using a pin-hole system to simulate the tunnel vision of retinitis pigmentosa in 19 healthy adults. The device supported the quality of vision. Additionally, the visual field defect model used in healthy adults was useful for validating the device in the development stage of the study, to clarify both advantages and future goals for improving the device.
