Comparative Evaluation of Activities of Daily Living Using Virtual Reality Simulation in Glaucoma and Non-Glaucoma Patients.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To compare the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) in Primary open-angle glaucoma patients and non-glaucoma normal controls using virtual reality (VR) simulation at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a comparative clinical analysis involving primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients. A total of 86 patients were enrolled (43 cases and 43 normal non-glaucoma). Each participant completed four VR simulation tasks. Chi-square/Fisher exact test was used to compare variables. The confidence interval was set at 95% for all statistical tests, and a Results: The mean age of participants in the glaucoma group was 60.3 years, and the mean age in the normal non-glaucoma group was 56.5 years. The number of clicks in the driving task in the normal non-glaucoma and glaucoma group differed by 4.84 clicks (mean normal 21.00, confidence interval [CI], 19.96-22.14, mean glaucoma 16.16, CI, 14.30-18.03, Conclusions: The VR simulation used in assessing the performance of ADL among POAG participants highlights limitations that vary with varying severity of glaucoma. The conventional clinical investigation used in assessing glaucoma severity might not define the real-time social effect of the disease.
