Multi-channel pattern VEPs with full and half field stimulation: methods of interpretation and diagnostic evaluation.
Review in Documenta ophthalmologica. Advances in ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 describe methods of evaluating multichannel full and half field pattern VEPs using the ISCEV VEP Standard montage.
methodsThe dependence of full field and half field pattern VEPs on retinal areas and cortical generators is reviewed and applied to the interpretation and evaluation of multichannel half field pattern VEPs.
resultsThere are predictable differences in the trans-occipital distributions of components of monocular full, and half field, pattern-reversal and full field, onset-offset VEPs. In combination, the differing distribution and dependence of these components on foveal and macular fields can help to identify and localise chiasmal and retro-chiasmal dysfunction and distinguish this from trans-occipital distribution due to individual variations of cortical architecture. A decision tree synthesising published evidence and current practice is suggested to guide interpretation of trans-occipital VEP distributions.
conclusionThe routine application of two additional lateral channels to acquire multichannel VEPs is quick, easy and adds clinical diagnostic value. The combination of full and half field pattern-reversal and fullfield, onset-offset VEPs can help evaluate chiasmal and retro-chiasmal visual pathway function, and minimise false positive interpretation of asymmetric VEP distributions, which may be due to cortical architecture or cranial anatomy alone.
