Assessing the resilience of portable vision tests to an uncontrolled home environment.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: In ophthalmology (and medicine more widely) there is increasing interest in telemedicine: having patients perform tests at home for greater efficiency and to meet growing demand. However, despite this increased interest in vision home monitoring, many vision tests are evaluated in standardised clinical settings, not home environments. Here, we investigated the resilience of two portable contrast sensitivity tests to the sorts of potentially confounding factors that may be encountered in a home setting. Methods: Normally sighted adults ( Results: No effect of time of day, participant motivation, or seating type was observed (all Conclusion: Taken together, the results indicate that, contrary to our expectations, both digital and pen-and-paper contrast sensitivity tests appear relatively resilient to many of the sorts of extraneous factors encountered in a home setting. This speaks to the potential viability of vision home monitoring, though study limitations and necessary future work are discussed.
