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

Each of our eyes sees a slightly different view of the physical world. Disparity is the small difference in position of features in the retinal images; stereopsis is the percept of depth from disparity. A distance between corresponding features in the retinal images of the two eyes smaller than the "upper disparity limit" yields a percept of depth; distances greater than this limit cause the two unfused monocular features to appear flattened into the fixation plane. This behavioral disparity limit is consistent with neurophysiological estimates of the largest disparity scale in primate, allowing us to relate physiological limits on plausible binocular interactions to separation between retinal locations. Here we test the hypothesis that this upper disparity limit predicts the presence of coarse stereopsis in humans with macular degeneration (MD), which affects the central retina but typically spares the periphery. The pattern of vision loss can be highly asymmetric, such that an intact location in one eye has a corresponding point in the other eye that lies within affected retina. Nevertheless, some individuals with MD have coarse stereopsis that is useful for eye-hand coordination. Our results show that individuals with MD (
