Vision Screening, Vision Disorders, and Impacts of Hyperopia in Young Children: Outcomes of the Vision in Preschoolers (VIP) and Vision in Preschoolers - Hyperopia in Preschoolers (VIP-HIP) Studies.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of ophthalmology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
abstractThis review summarizes clinically relevant outcomes from the Vision in Preschoolers (VIP) and VIP-Hyperopia in Preschoolers (VIP-HIP) studies. In VIP, refraction tests (retinoscopy, Retinomax, SureSight) and Lea Symbols Visual Acuity performed best in identifying children with vision disorders. For lay screeners, Lea Symbols single, crowded visual acuity (VA) testing (VIP, 5-foot) was significantly better than linear, crowded testing (10-foot). Children unable to perform the tests (<2%) were more likely to have vision disorders than children who passed and should be referred for vision evaluation. Among racial/ethnic groups, the prevalence of amblyopia and strabismus was similar while that of hyperopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia varied. The presence of strabismus and significant refractive errors were risk factors for unilateral amblyopia, while bilateral astigmatism and bilateral hyperopia were risk factors for bilateral amblyopia. A greater risk of astigmatism was associated with Hispanic, African American, and Asian race, and myopic and hyperopic refractive error. The presence and severity of hyperopia were associated with higher rates of amblyopia, strabismus, and other associated refractive error. In the VIP-HIP study, compared to emmetropes, meaningful deficits in early literacy were observed in uncorrected hyperopic 4- and 5-year-olds [≥+4.0 diopter (D) or ≥+3.0 D to ≤+6.0 D associated with reduced near visual function (near VA 20/40 or worse; stereoacuity worse than 240")]. Hyperopia with reduced near visual function also was associated with attention deficits. Compared to emmetropic children, VA (distance, near), accommodative accuracy, and stereoacuity were significantly reduced in moderate hyperopes, with the greatest risk in those with higher hyperopia. Increasing hyperopia was associated with decreasing visual function.
