Contrast sensitivity is resilient to induced fast periodic defocus oscillations.

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
This study investigates the potential effects of periodic defocus oscillations on contrast sensitivity. Sinusoidal fluctuations at 5, 15, and 25 Hz, with defocus peak-to-valley values ranging from 0.15 to 3 D, were induced by means of a focus-tunable lens after calibrating its dynamic behavior. Monocular contrast sensitivity was measured on five young emmetropic subjects. The experimental data shows that contrast sensitivity loss due to defocus fluctuations is low for a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes. Only for the more severe case studied (25 Hz, ± 1.5 D) contrast threshold showed a clear increase in most subjects. Qualitative comparison of the empirical data with a simulation of modulation loss due to time integration of defocused retinal point spread functions, suggests a short integration time by the eye for defocus blur, around or even below a hundredth of a second.
