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

aimTo evaluate the efficacy of the total computer vision syndrome questionnaire (CVS-Q) score as a predictive tool for identifying individuals with symptomatic binocular vision anomalies and refractive errors.

methodsA total of 141 healthy computer users underwent comprehensive clinical visual function assessments, including evaluations of refractive errors, accommodation (amplitude of accommodation, positive relative accommodation, negative relative accommodation, accommodative accuracy, and accommodative facility), and vergence (phoria, positive and negative fusional vergence, near point of convergence, and vergence facility). Total CVS-Q scores were recorded to explore potential associations between symptom scores and the aforementioned clinical visual function parameters.

resultsThe cohort included 54 males (38.3%) with a mean age of 23.9±0.58y and 87 age-matched females (61.7%) with a mean age of 23.9±0.53y. The multiple regression model was statistically significant [

conclusionThe total CVS-Q score is a valid and reliable tool for predicting the presence of various non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies and refractive errors in symptomatic computer users.
