Unveiling the Riddoch phenomenon: a regression analysis of stroke-induced homonymous hemianopia.

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
Introduction: A subset of patients with homonymous hemianopia can consciously perceive motion within their blind visual fields-a phenomenon known as the Riddoch phenomenon. However, the factors predicting this residual motion perception remain poorly understood. This study aims to identify clinical and neuroanatomical predictors of the Riddoch phenomenon in stroke patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 32 adult patients (mean age 60.41 years, 34.4% female) with stroke-induced homonymous hemianopia treated at a single center between 2020 and 2023. Clinical data, brain MRI, and visual field assessments were reviewed. The Riddoch phenomenon was quantified as the difference between kinetic motion perception measured by Rama Motion Perimetry (RMP) and static visual perception assessed by Humphrey Visual Field Index (VFI), termed RMP-VFI. Lesions in key visual processing regions-primary visual cortex (V1), motion-sensitive area V5, lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), and splenium of the corpus callosum-were identified on MRI. Univariate and multiple linear regression models were applied to evaluate predictors of RMP-VFI. Results: Mean RMP-VFI scores were significantly higher in patients with spared V5 compared to those with lesioned V5 (24.1 vs. 1.8, Discussion: Integrity of area V5 plays a key role in the Riddoch phenomenon by preserving motion perception despite cortical damage. For the first time, diabetes mellitus is identified as a significant clinical factor negatively influencing residual motion perception, possibly by impairing neural plasticity. These findings enhance understanding of the neural and systemic factors modulating visual recovery after stroke.
