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

This study aimed to determine whether more stable electroretinography parameters could be obtained in younger children using skin electrodes placed at the inner canthus and ears compared to using contact lens electrodes. The study included three Japanese patients (two girls and one boy) who presented with epileptic spasms before the age of 3 years. We compared the electroretinography parameters obtained with skin electrodes and contact lens electrodes. We could record reproducible results using skin ERG with a montage of electrodes placed at the inner canthus and the ear in children. Moreover, standard data for younger children were created, enabling the evaluation of electroretinography parameters recorded with skin electrodes in individual pediatric patients. The skin electroretinography using the new montage may be stable parameters for evaluating retinal function in younger children.
