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
purposeThe centenarian population is increasing with an increase in global life expectancy. However, data on visual status and ocular diseases in this age group remain limited. We aimed to assess visual acuity and ocular comorbidities in patients aged ≥ 100 years.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study included patients aged ≥ 100 years who visited Miyata Eye Hospital between January 2016 and December 2024. Data on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, and ocular comorbidities were extracted from medical records. Multivariate linear regression was performed to analyse the associations between BCVA and ocular diseases.
resultsThis study included 50 eyes of 25 patients. The mean age was 100.8 ± 1.0 years, and 80.0% of the eyes belonged to women. The mean BCVA was 1.01 ± 0.93 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution. The most common ocular conditions were dry eye (54%), glaucoma (46%), cataract (40%), and macular degeneration (40%). Multivariate analysis revealed that cataract (p = 0.019) and uveitis (p = 0.003) were significantly linked to poor visual acuity.
conclusionCataracts and uveitis were the most significant factors contributing to visual impairment in centenarian patients. Thus, an improved understanding of the ocular health status is crucial for maintaining visual function and quality of life in this unique population.
