Effect of high-energy visible light-filtering spectacle lenses on high and low contrast distance visual acuity.
Article in Journal of optometry. 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
purposeHigh-energy visible (HEV) light has been the subject of considerable debate recently despite its critical role in several physiological functions. High-energy visible light-filtering spectacle lenses, which attenuate transmission of HEV light, are being widely marketed as protective measures for ocular health and interventions to improve visual function and sleep quality. This study reports on the effect of HEV light-filtering spectacle lenses on high and low contrast (10 % and 2.5 %) distance VA.
methodsHigh and low contrast binocular distance VA was measured in 30 young adults in photopic and mesopic illumination. The VA measurements were taken with four test lenses including three commercially available HEV light-filtering lenses and a control lens. Data were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics.
resultsThere was no significant difference in mean photopic high contrast (F(2.5, 73.5) = 1.30, p = 0.28), low contrast 10 % (F(3, 87) = 0.24, p = 0.87) and 2.5 % (F(3, 87) = 0.72, p = 0.54) VA measurements with the four test lenses. Similarly, in mesopic illumination the mean VA measurements were similar among the four test lenses (high contrast (F(3, 87) = 1.06, p = 0.37), low contrast 10 % (F(3, 87) = 0.70, p = 0.55) and low contrast 2.5 % (F(3, 87 = 0.49, p = 0.69)).
conclusionThe HEV light-filtering spectacle lenses produced no meaningful changes in VA compared with the control lens in varying illumination. Eye care personnel should consider this information when considering HEV light-filtering spectacle lenses in clinical practice.
