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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate which portions of the visual scene are perceived by each eye in an exotropic subject with acquired hemianopia. The pattern of suppression is predictable from knowledge of how suppression scotomas are organized in exotropic subjects with intact visual fields.

methodsDichoptic perimetry was performed by having a subject wear red/blue goggles while fixating a cross that was either red or blue. Red, blue, or purple spots were presented briefly at peripheral locations. The subject's identification of the spot color revealed which eye was perceptually engaged at any given location in the visual fields.

resultsA 17-year-old female with a history of exotropia was evaluated after rupture of a right parietal arteriovenous malformation. Dichoptic perimetry showed a left homonymous hemianopia. All stimuli to the right of the right fovea's projection point were perceived via the right eye. Stimuli between the foveal projection points, which were separated horizontally by the 20° exotropia, were perceived by the left eye.

conclusionsPerception of the visual scene is shared by the eyes in hemianopia and exotropia. Suppression occurs only in the peripheral temporal retina of the eye contralateral to the brain lesion, regardless of which eye is engaged in fixation. Although exotropia expands the binocular field of vision in hemianopia, it is probably not an adaptive response, even when it develops after hemianopia.
