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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pre-amplified electrodes in mitigating powerline noise interference in clinical full-field electroretinograms (ffERGs). Pre-amplified electrodes can reduce powerline noise by providing an alternate pathway for the dissipation of electromagnetically induced noise. Building upon our previous theoretical and animal research, this investigation sought to validate these findings in a clinical setting. Methods: Twenty-nine normal-sighted subjects participated in the study. Standard ffERGs were obtained using both traditional passive electrodes and pre-amplified electrodes consecutively from the same eye. Signal metrics and repeatability were evaluated by comparing the amplitudes and peak times of a-wave and b-wave components. Powerline noise was analyzed using frequency spectrum analysis. Results: The mean amplitudes and peak times of a-wave and b-wave components between the pre-amplified and passive electrodes showed no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05). Intrasubject variability was modestly reduced when using pre-amplified electrodes, as indicated by lower intra-subject standard deviation (P < 0.04). Powerline noise, measured using signal-to-noise ratio, was significantly diminished in signals from pre-amplified electrodes (P < 0.01, Cohen's D > 2.25) in flash stimulation setups. Conclusions: Whereas the intrasubject variability improvements in the normally sighted subjects were modest, the improvements in the signal to noise ratio suggest that effective mitigation of powerline noise are possible with pre-amplified electrodes in diseased subjects with reduced ERG amplitudes. Translational Relevance: A pre-amplified electrode can reliably and robustly reduce powerline noise and thus improve signal repeatability while preserving signal integrity in clinical ffERGs.
