Receded near point of convergence as a predictor of mild cognitive impairment in the general geriatric population: results from a population-based study.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo investigate the relationship between near point of convergence (NPC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the general elderly population.
methodsThe present report is a part of the Tehran Geriatric Eye Study (TGES): a population-based cross-sectional study conducted on individuals 60 years of age and above living in Tehran, Iran using the multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method. Cognitive status was assessed using the Persian version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). All study participants underwent complete ocular examination including measurement of uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, objective and subjective refraction, cover testing, NPC measurement, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy.
resultsThe data of 1190 individuals were analyzed for this report. The mean age of the participants analyzed was 66.82±5.42 (60-92y) and 728 (61.2%) of them were female. Patients with MCI had a significantly more receded NPC compared to subjects with normal cognitive status (10.89±3.58
conclusionA receded NPC can be clinically proposed as a predictor of MCI in older adults. It is recommended that elderly with a receded NPC>8.50 cm undergo detailed cognitive screening for a definite diagnosis of MCI. In this case, the necessary interventions can be carried out to slow down MCI progression to dementia.
