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

The aim of our study was to test the application of a new vision training device, the EYE ROLL, for home-based eye movement training in athletes. Sixty-seven participants were randomly divided into three groups: a control group (no training); an eye movement training group with no device; and a group using the new EYE ROLL device. The results of 51 participants were used for statistical analyses after a 4-week period. Before and after the 4-week period, participants underwent the same assessment procedures: a comprehensive vision examination and saccadic eye movement recording. Before training, for both 10° and 5° stimuli, all subjects showed statistically significantly larger and faster rightward saccades compared to leftward saccades. After four weeks, the control group showed increased horizontal saccadic asymmetry and a decrease in leftward saccade amplitude. However, both velocities showed asymmetry in both visits. There were larger changes in saccadic parameters for leftward saccades, but no clear changes in saccadic response asymmetry after training. There were no consistent differences between the training groups. The EYE ROLL is a novel device that may serve as a substitute training tool for saccadic enhancement and may improve the symmetry of horizontal saccadic movements after four weeks of home-based training.
