A pilot study investigating immediate effects of vergence training on binocular function and reaction time in youth badminton athletes.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This pilot study examined the immediate effects of a single session of vergence training using automatic dual-rotational Risley prisms (ADRRPs) on binocular visual function and reaction time in youth badminton athletes. Twenty-six participants were randomly assigned to a visual training (VT) group (n = 16) or a control group (n = 10). After a 15-minute ADRRPs session, the VT group showed greater short-term improvements in vergence facility (VF) and accommodative facility (AF) than the control group, and a reduction in reaction time was also observed. Other parameters, including amplitude of accommodation (AA), near point of convergence (NPC), and positive fusional vergence (PFV), showed minimal or non-significant changes, suggesting limited short-term oculomotor adaptation. These findings indicate that brief, automated vergence interventions may be feasible for enhancing specific visual functions and visuomotor responsiveness in athletes. However, given the small and uneven sample together with the short-term design, these preliminary results should be interpreted cautiously, and larger, longer-term studies are warranted.
