The UCI EyeMobile Preschool Vision Screening Program: Refractive Error and Amblyopia Results from the 2019-2020 School Year.

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: To introduce the University of California Irvine (UCI) EyeMobile for Children preschool vision screening program and describe the ophthalmic examination results of children who failed screening with the PlusoptiX S12C photoscreener during one school year. Patients and Methods: Children aged 30-72 months were screened with the PlusoptiX using ROC mode 3 during the 2019-2020 school year. Children who failed screening were referred for comprehensive eye examination on the EyeMobile mobile clinic. Presence of amblyopia risk factors (ARFs), amblyopia, and refractive error was determined via retrospective review of records. Amblyopia was defined as unilateral if there was ≥ 2-line interocular difference in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and as bilateral if BCVA was < 20/50 for children < 4 years old and < 20/40 for children ≥ 4 years old. ARFs were defined using 2021 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) instrument-based screening guidelines. Results: 5226 children were screened during the study period. Of the 546 children who failed screening, 350 (64%) obtained consent and were examined. Mean age of examined children was 4.45 years. Amblyopia was found in 8% of examined children, with unilateral amblyopia seen in 79% of amblyopic subjects. Glasses were prescribed to 246 (70.3%) children. Of the 240 children who received cycloplegic examinations, 43% had hyperopia and 30% had myopia. The positive predictive value (PPV) of the PlusoptiX screening for ARFs in children who received cycloplegic examinations was 70.4%. Conclusion: A significant proportion of Orange County preschoolers with refractive errors and amblyopia have unmet refractive correction needs. The PlusoptiX S12C photoscreener is an adequate screening device for the UCI EyeMobile for Children program, although modification of device referral criteria may lead to increased PPV. Further research is necessary to understand and overcome the barriers to childhood vision care in our community.
