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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundTraffic crashes are the leading cause of death globally for people aged 5-29 years, with 90% of mortality occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The STABLE (Slashing Two-wheeled Accidents by Leveraging Eyecare) trial was designed to determine whether providing spectacles could reduce risk among young myopic motorcycle users in Vietnam.

methodsThis investigator-masked, stepped-wedge, cluster randomised naturalistic driving trial will recruit 625 students aged 18-23 years, driving ≥ 50 km/week, with ≥ 1-year driving experience and using motorcycles as their primary means of transport, in 25 clusters of 25 students in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Motorcycles of consenting students who have failed self-testing on the WHOeyes app will be fitted with Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) with video cameras and accelerometers. Video clips (± 30 s) of events flagged by the accelerometer will be reviewed for crash and near-crash events per 1000 km driven (main outcome). Five clusters of 25 students will be randomly selected every 12 weeks to undergo ocular examination and an estimated 40% of these will have bilateral spherical equivalent < - 0.5 D, and better-eye presenting distance visual acuity < 6/12, correctable bilaterally to ≥ 6/7.5. They will be given free distance spectacles and their driving data before receiving spectacles will be analysed as the control condition and subsequent data as the intervention condition. Secondary outcomes include visual function, cost-effectiveness and self-reported crash events. DISCUSSION: STABLE will be the first randomised trial of vision interventions and driving safety in a LMIC.
