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

Purpose Infant vision assessment often relies on grating acuity; however, its objectivity and convenience must be improved. A calibration-free eye-tracking system, even in preverbal children, enables easy and precise gaze analysis. This pilot study aimed to develop a reliable automated monocular vision screening. Methods Participants (n=118) underwent a grating visual acuity test using the eye-tracking system. Correlations between the grating acuity, uncorrected visual acuity, and refractive error were analyzed across different cutoff values of fixation duration percentage. Results Strong correlations were found between the grating acuity and refractive error at 69% and 88% thresholds. Similar correlations with uncorrected visual acuity were noted at 70% and 89% thresholds. False-negatives around the 70% threshold were noted, indicating potential overestimation of acuity in cases of low visual acuity/high refractive error. Discussion The results highlight the feasibility of calibration-free eye-tracking system-based monocular vision screening with an optimal screening threshold of 90%.
