Evolution of Visual Field Defects After Occipital Stroke: A Quantitative Analysis.
Article in Translational vision science & technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To quantitatively re-evaluate the natural progression of homonymous visual defects in occipital stroke patients using metrics derived from automated perimetry. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of stroke patients with homonymous hemianopia who underwent repeated, monocular Humphrey perimetry using the 24-2 SITA standard pattern from 2011 to 2019 at a large US academic medical center. Reliable tests in either eye were analyzed to track progression of the perimetric mean deviation (PMD) and deficit area before and after a temporal boundary set at 6 ± 1 months post-stroke. Results: Out of 532 patients diagnosed with homonymous hemianopia, repeated Humphrey tests meeting reliability criteria were available for 73 individuals, who ranged from 0 to 2986 days post-stroke. Over 77% of these patients experienced spontaneous perimetric improvements in the subacute post-stroke period (<6 months), much larger for partial than complete visual field defects. In the chronic period (>6 months), perimetric measurements were stable overall, but spontaneous changes > ±1 dB in PMD were seen in about half of the cohort. Conclusions: Quantitative analysis of Humphrey perimetry confirmed prior reports of prevalent spontaneous improvements early after occipital stroke in adults. Though much less frequent, improvements as well as worsening of the visual defects still occurred in the chronic period. Translational Relevance: Our quantification of perimetric changes over time after occipital stroke provides an empirical and methodological basis for future studies aiming to better understand and prognostically manage patient expectations regarding recovery. It also provides a necessary benchmark against which to contrast the impact of restorative therapies being developed for this condition.
