The effect of habitual sitting posture on peripheral retinal alterations.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2025. 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
purposeThis study aims to characterise peripheral retinal changes in treatment-naïve patients and examine their association with posterior pelvic tilt sitting (PPTS), a daily poor habitual posture.
methodsThis prospective study included ninety-two treatment-naïve patients, who were evaluated using an indirect ophthalmoscope by a retinal specialist. Pelvic angle during habitual sitting posture was assessed by trained physical therapists. The association between the quantity of detected peripheral retinal alterations and the angle of pelvic tilt with habitual sitting was examined using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient test. Multiple regression analysis was utilised to identify independent factors contributing towards peripheral retinal alterations.
resultsWhite without pressure (WWP) was negatively correlated with PPTS (or positively correlated with anterior pelvic tilt sitting) in women (r = - 0.33, p = 0.03), while cobblestone degeneration was positively correlated with PPTS in men (r = 0.33, p = 0.02). Multiple regression analysis revealed that age and PPTS were independent negative contributing factors for WWP in women, whereas PPTS was an independent contributing factor for cobblestone degeneration in men. However, no relationship was found between PPTS and the presence of retinal breaks.
conclusionCobblestone degeneration in men and WWP in women were affected by PPTS. Retinal respiratory and circulatory impairment caused by PPTS is considered as reason for increased cobblestone degeneration.
