Effect of peripheral field loss on gait performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Background: The peripheral visual field provides essential environmental information for safe locomotion. Deficits in peripheral field can adversely affect gait performance and safety. This review aimed to consolidate current knowledge on the impact of peripheral field loss on gait and to identify the key parameters for gait assessment. Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was conducted across AMED, CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, supplemented by a manual search on Google Scholar, covering the period up to November 2023. Eligible studies examining the relationship between peripheral field loss and gait performance were summarized and methodologically assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) quality rating tool. Meta-analysis was conducted using the Comprehensive Meta-analysis (CMA) software. Results: The review included 23 studies with a total of 3,085 participants. The average STROBE score was 19, ranging from 15 to 21. Walking speed was the most frequently assessed gait parameter, with peripheral field loss significantly associated with reduced walking speed (r = 0.40, Conclusion: Peripheral field loss is significantly associated with reduced walking speeds, altered gait characteristics, and impaired mobility safety during locomotion. Future research should adopt a standardized set of gait and mobility metrics to enhance cross-study comparisons among diverse patient populations. Systematic Review Registration: CRD42022297071.
