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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundOptimal visual abilities including stereo acuity seem to be an important issue in sports. There is increasing evidence that stereo acuity can be sustainably improved by digital vision training even for people with good stereo acuity. STUDY DESIGN AND TEST

methodsIn this study 31 male and female tennis players (professionals, young professionals, coaches and former professionals) completed at least 6 training units each with 192 dynamic stereoscopic tasks (N = 1152) within 6 weeks including a 4-option test with different levels of difficulty on a 3D screen at a distance of 5 m. The parameter reaction time and correctness at 15-300 arcseconds was determined. For a more precise representation of the reaction time improvement as a function of the difficulty level, the parameter reaction time increase per stereo disparity reduction (ReST) was defined.

resultsReaction time to 15 arcsecond stimuli significantly decreased from 3.9 s to 1.6 s (59%) as a result of digital vision training. The correctness at 30 arcsecond stimuli significantly increased by 23%. DISCUSSION: The observed improvement in reaction time during vision training did not result in decreasing correctness when answering the visual questions. This represents an overall improvement in stereo vision.

conclusionDynamic visual training over 6 weeks improves stereoscopic performance including stereo acuity, response time and correctness.
