Visual field examinations using different strategies in Asian patients taking hydroxychloroquine.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. 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
In this study, we investigated the patterns of visual field (VF) defects and the diagnostic abilities of VF tests using different strategies in Asian patients with hydroxychloroquine retinopathy. Patients screened for hydroxychloroquine retinopathy using optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence, VF, and/or multifocal electroretinography were included. The VF was performed using the Humphrey 30-2 and/or 10-2 strategy, and 2,107 eyes of 1,078 patients with reliable results, including 136 eyes of 68 patients with hydroxychloroquine retinopathy, were analyzed. The characteristics of VF findings were evaluated and the sensitivity and specificity were compared between the 30-2 and 10-2 tests in subgroups of retinopathy severity and pattern. The most common VF defect pattern was partial- or full-ring scotoma in both the 10-2 and 30-2 tests. Among the eyes with hydroxychloroquine retinopathy that underwent both tests, 14.2% showed a disparity between the two tests, almost all at the early stage. In overall and early pericentral retinopathy, the sensitivity of the 30-2 test was significantly higher than that of the 10-2 test (95.7% vs. 77.1% and 90.6% vs. 53.1%, respectively; P < 0.05). However, the specificity of the 10-2 test was significantly higher than that of the 30-2 test (89.6% vs. 84.8%, P < 0.001). Therefore, the pattern of retinopathy should be carefully considered when choosing a VF strategy for better detection of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy.
