Effect of prisms on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and nystagmus in patients with albinism.

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
aimTo investigate the effect of using base-out prisms on nystagmus, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with albinism.
methodsIn this interventional study, patients with albinism who had nystagmus were enrolled. A comprehensive eye exam was conducted, which included refraction, assessment of far and near vision acuity, and contrast sensitivity measurements. To check for the nystagmus, a videonystagmography was used. The tests were carried out in three modes: without any correction, with optical correction, and with correction using base-out prisms in three different powers, including 4, 6, and 8 prism diopters.
resultsTotally 23 patients with average age of 28.65±12.13 were examined. It was found that the use of optical correction and optical correction with prisms resulted in a statistically significant improvement in both far (at least:
conclusionOptical correction with a prism can improve visual acuity and some spatial frequencies, but failed to improve nystagmus parameters.
