Rehabilitation of cortically induced visual field loss.
Review in Current opinion in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 of reviewHomonymous visual field defects are a common sequela of stroke, and are assumed to be permanent within a few weeks of the event. Because consensus about the efficacy of rehabilitation is lacking, visual therapy is rarely prescribed. Here, we review current rehabilitation options and strategies in the translational pipeline that could change these perspectives. RECENT
findingsThe mainstays of available therapy for homonymous visual defects are compensation training and substitution, which allow patients to better use their spared vision. However, early clinical studies suggest that vision can partially recover following intensive training inside the blind field. Research into the relative efficacy of different restorative approaches continues, providing insights into neurophysiologic substrates of recovery and its limitations. This, in turn, has led to new work examining the possible benefits of earlier intervention, advanced training procedures, noninvasive brain stimulation, and pharmacological adjuvants, all of which remain to be vetted through properly powered, randomized, clinical trials. SUMMARY: Research has uncovered substantial visual plasticity after occipital strokes, suggesting that rehabilitative strategies for this condition should be more aggressive. For maximal benefit, poststroke vision-restorative interventions should begin early, and in parallel with strategies that optimize everyday use of an expanding field of view.
