Disparities in Vision Impairment and Eye Diseases among Early Late-Life Women: The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation, Michigan Site.
Article in Seminars in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo quantify the burden of vision impairment (VI) and ocular conditions among early late-life women.
methodsWomen (
resultsThe prevalence of presenting VI (VA 20/40 or worse) was 11.0% and 75% of that was correctable (best-corrected VI 2.8%). Black women and those with greater economic strain or less education had a higher prevalence of presenting VI. These disparities were no longer present after considering best-corrected VI. Ocular disease prevalence ranged from 3.3% (age-related macular degeneration) to 30.2% (hypertensive retinopathy), but most participants were unaware of their ocular diagnosis.
conclusionThe discordance of presenting versus best-corrected VI and lack of knowledge of ocular conditions suggests a need for increased vision services. Access to optimal vision correction may attenuate differences across sociodemographic groups.
