Clinical features and imaging characteristics in achiasmia.
Article in Brain communications, 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
Achiasmia is a rare visual pathway maldevelopment with reduced decussation of the axons in the optic chiasm. Our aim was to investigate clinical characteristics, macular, optic nerve and brain morphology in achiasmia. A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study of 12 participants with achiasmia [8 males and 4 females; 29.6 ± 18.4 years (mean ± standard deviation)] and 24 gender-, age-, ethnicity- and refraction-matched healthy controls was done. Full ophthalmology assessment, eye movement recording, a high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography of the macular and optic disc, five-channel visual-evoked responses, eye movement recordings and MRI scans of the brain and orbits were acquired. Achiasmia was confirmed in all 12 clinical participants by visual-evoked responses. Visual acuity in this group was 0.63 ± 0.19 and 0.53 ± 0.19 for the right and left eyes, respectively; most participants had mild refractive errors. All participants with achiasmia had see-saw nystagmus and no measurable stereo vision. Strabismus and abnormal head position were noted in 58% of participants. Optical coherence tomography showed optic nerve hypoplasia with associated foveal hypoplasia in four participants. In the remaining achiasmia participants, macular changes with significantly thinner paracentral inner segment (
