Empowering Functional Independence Through Low Vision Rehabilitation in a Patient With Chronic Kidney Disease-Related Optic Neuropathy.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 32-year-old Saudi male with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on thrice-weekly hemodialysis presented to the low vision clinic with irreversible bilateral optic neuropathy following optic neuritis for low vision services to enhance his daily activities. His distance visual acuity was 20/800 in both eyes, and near vision was J24 binocularly, with no refractive error. Ophthalmological examination showed pale yellow optic discs, preserved color vision, and normal confrontation fields. With low vision rehabilitation, his distance vision improved to 20/80 using a 4x Keplerian binocular telescope, and his near vision improved to J8 with 5x half-eye reading spectacles. He was encouraged to integrate these devices into daily life and referred to ongoing nephrology care. At three months, he reported greater independence in daily tasks and social interactions, feeling more confident in navigation and digital device use. This case highlights how low vision rehabilitation can empower individuals with CKD-related vision impairment, improving their quality of life and functional independence.
