Oculomotor Training for Poor Saccades Improves Functional Vision Scores and Neurobehavioral Symptoms.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesTo determine if participants with saccadic dysfunction improved after participating in a standardized oculomotor training program. A secondary objective was to accurately quantify change in saccades after training using eye tracking technology. A third objective was to examine patients' neurobehavioral symptoms before and after oculomotor training using the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI).
designA prospective study involving treatment and control group pre-post intervention design.
settingData were collected in eye clinics with a standardized eye tracking equipment setup.
participantsParticipants in the bottom 25th percentile for saccadic eye movements (N=92; intervention=46, control=46) who were currently asymptomatic of specific disorder.
interventionsParticipants were randomly assigned to the control or intervention group. The intervention group engaged in 10 minutes of oculomotor training daily for 5 days.
main outcome measuresThe ratio of the peak saccadic velocity over its average velocity (the Q ratio), saccadic targeting, and NSI.
resultsResults revealed significant interactions between control and intervention groups (
conclusionsFor this population, oculomotor training (Q ratio and saccade accuracy) resulted improved saccadic metrics and a significant reduction in overall symptoms as shown on the NSI. Future participants reported improved symptoms pre- and postintervention. Further research is needed to understand saccadic performance and gaze stability during specific tasks (such as reading).
