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: To evaluate the near reflex components, including accommodation, convergence, and binocular fusional vergences in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Material-Method: MS patients under 35 years of age without visual evoked potential (VEP) abnormalities (MS Group) and age-matched healthy individuals of (Control Group) were included in the study. Fusional vergence amplitudes, the amplitude of accommodation (AA), stereopsis measurements, near-object fixation and near point of convergence (NPC) measurements, Convergence Insufficiency Symptoms Survey (CISS) results, and the presence of nystagmus were recorded retrospectively from the files of the cases. Statistical comparison was made between the groups. Results: The mean age was 28.04 ± 3.7 years in the MS group (20 females, 4 males) and 27.16 ± 3.1 years in the control group (20 females, 5 males) ( Conclusion: Compared to the healthy control group, MS patients under 35 who did not have optic neuritis had lower accommodation amplitude and more signs in favor of convergence insufficiency symptoms. In addition, gaze evoked nystagmus was observed at a higher rate in the MS group. These findings may guide us in understanding the asthenopia findings of MS patients without optic neuritis.
