Increment Thresholds in Retinitis Pigmentosa: Association With Retinal Thickness.
Article in Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 provide a comprehensive analysis of increment thresholds under different background illuminance conditions and to define the association with retinal structure in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods: Ten subjects with RP (35.3 ± 14.4 years) and 10 visually-normal individuals (28.3 ± 7.3 years) participated. Increment thresholds were measured along the horizontal meridian of the visual field (10° nasal to 10° temporal) using short-wavelength Goldmann size III targets under dark-adapted (DA) conditions and across a broad range of background illuminance levels (up to 50 cd/m2). The relationship between threshold and background illuminance level was described using a standard "threshold-versus-illuminance" (TvI) model to derive absolute threshold (T0), slope (n), and "dark-light" (A0). Retinal thickness was quantified by OCT for comparison to the TvI data. Results: Mean threshold for the 10 RP subjects was elevated for all background illuminance levels, with the greatest abnormalities under DA conditions. Analysis of variance indicated significantly elevated T0 and A0 for the RP subjects, but n did not differ significantly from the controls. Two subgroups of RP subjects were identified: d1 patients had equal elevations in T0 and A0, whereas d3 patients had elevated T0 with little or no elevation in A0. All d1 patients had normal foveal thickness, whereas all d3 patients had foveal thinning. Conclusions: Cone sensitivity loss in the d1 subgroup may be attributed to reduced quantal absorption, whereas cone sensitivity loss in the d3 subgroup may be better explained by a reduced cone density, consistent with their marked retinal thinning.
