1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: To investigate the effect of tinted filters on contrast threshold (CT) and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, RP patients with best corrected visual acuity better than 1 log MAR were evaluated. The CT was measured using the Freiburg Acuity and Contrast Test, and pattern reversals were analyzed for both time and frequency components. The effects of gray (15% light transmission, 410 nm cutoff), brown (18% light transmission, 410 nm cutoff), and yellow (27% light transmission with a 470 nm cutoff) tinted filters were evaluated and compared. Results: Eighteen participants (mean age 32.78 Conclusion: Using tinted filters as a low-vision aid can modify contrast sensitivity and both frequency and time domains of VEPs in patients with RP. Yellow filters appear to improve visual function, whereas gray filters may worsen it.
