1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo compare eye tracking and Teller acuity cards (TAC) for assessment of visual acuity in children with cortical, or cerebral, visual impairment (CVI).

designReliability and validity study.

methodsWe recruited 41 children with CVI from a single academic pediatric neuro-ophthalmology clinic. All children performed eye tracking to measure visual acuity, and 26 children completed TAC assessment by a masked examiner. Additionally, 2 pediatric neuro-ophthalmologists graded visual behavior using the 6-level Visual Behavior Scale (VBS). Eye tracking and TAC were performed at baseline and at 1 month. Test-retest reliability of eye tracking and TAC were assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Eye tracking and TAC visual acuities were correlated with one another and VBS scores using the Spearman correlation coefficient.

resultsTest-retest reliability was excellent for eye tracking measurement of visual acuity (ICC = 0.81, P < .0001). For pediatric CVI, TAC test-retest reliability was fair (ICC = 0.42, P = .04). There was a moderate correlation between eye tracking and TAC (r = 0.43, P = .03) and between TAC and VBS score (r = 0.50, P = .009), and a strong correlation between eye tracking grating acuity and VBS score (r = 0.72, P < .0001).

conclusionsIn our cohort of children with CVI, grating acuity measured by eye tracking demonstrated higher test-retest reliability and stronger correlation with pediatric neuro-ophthalmologic assessment of visual behavior than Teller acuity. Objective determination of gaze direction by an eye tracking camera may be more accurate than human assessment in this population. Future research is needed to determine the optimal methods of longitudinal assessment of visual function and functional vision in children with CVI.
