Vision With Retrodots and Factors for Declining Visual Function.

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
Purpose: We investigated decline in the visual function of eyes with retrodots (RDs)-a subtype of cataract. Method: This study included 57 eyes with RD opacity only (mean age 72.3 ± 5.2 years) and 34 eyes with transparent lenses (mean age 71.4 ± 3.7 years). A physician diagnosed lens opacity. Using the Kanazawa Medical University Classification and Grading System, the eyes were classified into the RD-1 (37 eyes, RDs <25% of the 3-mm pupil area) and RD-2 (20 eyes, RDs ≥25% of the 3-mm pupil area) groups. Corrected distance visual acuity, contrast visual acuity, ocular refractive power, lens power, straylight, and backward light-scattering intensity and their relationship with visual function decline and optical characteristics of the eyeball were evaluated. Results: Corrected distance visual acuity was significantly lower in the RD eyes than in controls. Contrast visual acuity decreased significantly in the RD-2 eyes in all environments and in the RD-1 eyes in the evening (EVE) and EVE + glare. Straylight was significantly higher in the RD-2 eyes than in the controls and RD-1 eyes but not different between the RD-1 eyes and controls. The RD-2 eyes were significantly more myopic than the controls and RD-1 eyes. Conclusion: When the opacity of RD eyes is ≥25%, the visual acuity and contrast visual acuity decrease and straylight increases. Furthermore, myopia occurs as the refractive power of the lens increases. Moreover, visual function decline may be due to an increase in the straylight value, which is necessary for determining surgical indications.
