Use of augmented reality technology for improving visual acuity of individuals with low vision.

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
Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the visual acuity improvement in patients with low vision using augmented reality device who presented to the low vision care (LVC) clinic at a tertiary eye care center. Methods: A prospective study of 100 patients with low vision who were referred to the LVC clinic between July and December 2018 was done. Demographic data and visual acuity improvement assessed using augmented reality (AR) technology paired with Samsung Gear headset were documented. Results: Out of 100 patients, 74 were male and 26 were female. The median age of the overall patients was 36 (25.5) years. In 100 patients, 21% patients were found to have central field loss (CFL), 35% patients have peripheral field loss (PFL), and 44% patients were found to have overall blurred vision (OBV). Majority of the subjects with CFL (47%) and OBV (37%) has a moderate visual impairment and in PFL group (26%), severe visual impairment was more. Cone dystrophy (9%) was found to be the major cause of CFL group, retinitis pigmentosa (22%) in the case of PFL group, and optic atrophy (10%) in the case of OBV group. The median distance visual acuity 0.9 log MAR improved to 0.2 log MAR (P < 0.0001) and median near visual acuity 0.4 log MAR improved to 0.1 log MAR with a P value of < 0.0001 using AR device. Conclusion: The use of an AR device can help patients with low vision to improve their residual vision for better visual performance.
