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
purposeThis study is to investigate the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) using the quick CSF (qCSF) test in Chinese adults with myopia.
methodsThis case series study included 320 myopic eyes of 160 patients (mean age 27.75 ± 5.99 years) who underwent a qCSF test for acuity, area under log CSF (AULCSF), and mean contrast sensitivity (CS) at 1.0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, and 18.0 cycle per degree (cpd). Spherical equivalent, corrected-distant visual acuity (CDVA), and pupil size were recorded.
resultsThe spherical equivalent, CDVA (LogMAR), spherical refraction, cylindrical refraction, and the scotopic pupil size of the included eyes were - 6.30 ± 2.27 D (- 14.25 to - 0.88 D), 0 ± 0.02, - 5.74 ± 2.18 D, - 1.11 ± 0.86 D, and 6.77 ± 0.73 mm, respectively. The AULCSF and CSF acuity were 1.01 ± 0.21 and 18.45 ± 5.39 cpd, respectively. The mean CS (log units) at six different spatial frequencies were 1.25 ± 0.14, 1.29 ± 0.14, 1.25 ± 0.14, 0.98 ± 0.26, 0.45 ± 0.28, and 0.13 ± 0.17, respectively. A mixed effect model showed significant correlations between age and acuity, AULCSF, and CSF at 1.0, 12.0, and 18.0 cpd. Interocular CSF differences were correlated with the interocular difference of spherical equivalent, spherical refraction (at 1.0 cpd, 1.5 cpd), and cylindrical refraction (at 12.0 cpd, 18.0 cpd). The lower cylindrical refraction eye had higher CSF compared with the higher cylindrical refraction eye (0.48 ± 0.29 vs. 0.42 ± 0.27 at 12.0 cpd and 0.15 ± 0.19 vs. 0.12 ± 0.15 at 18.0 cpd).
conclusionsThe age-related decrease in contrast sensitivity is at low and high spatial frequencies. Higher-degree myopia may show a decrease in CSF acuity. Low astigmatism was noted to affect the contrast sensitivity significantly.
