Test-retest repeatability and agreement of the quantitative contrast sensitivity function test: towards the validation of a new clinical endpoint.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate test-retest reliability and agreement of the quantitative contrast sensitivity function test (qCSF) in the retina clinic.
methodsA total of 121 right eyes of 121 patients were tested and consecutively re-tested with qCSF in the retina clinic. Outcomes included area under the logarithm of contrast sensitivity function curve (AULCSF), contrast acuity, and contrast sensitivity thresholds at 1-18 cycles per degree (cpd). Test-retest means were compared with paired t-test, variability was compared with the Brown-Forsythe test, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland Altman plots evaluated reliability and agreement.
resultsMean test-retest differences for all qCSF metrics ranged from 0.02 to 0.05 log units without statistically significant differences in variability. Standard deviations ranged from 0.08 to 0.14. Coefficients of repeatability ranged from 0.16 to 0.27 log units. ICC > 0.9 for all metrics except 1cpd (ICC = 0.84, all p < 0.001); AULCSF ICC = 0.971.
conclusionqCSF-measured contrast sensitivity shows great test-retest repeatability and agreement in the retina clinic.
