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

purposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of active vision therapy in adults with anisometropic amblyopia.

methodsIn this study, 20 adults with anisometropic amblyopia aged from 17-35 years old were treated for five sessions (one session per week) with vision therapy techniques which include accommodative rock, vergence rock, and saccadic training. Moreover, computerized vision therapy was performed by Optosys

resultsComparison of data using

conclusionThe improvement of visual acuity in adult anisometropic amblyopes showed that there are some degrees of plasticity in the visual system of amblyopic patients even in adulthood. Thus, therapists should give the chance of treatment to adult amblyopes.
