Successful Dichoptic Therapy for Amblyopia in a Child Unable to Tolerate Occlusion Therapy due to Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmological medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face challenges with occlusion therapy using eye patches owing to the sensory sensitivity, rigid behaviors, and communication difficulties associated with ASD. In this study, we report the case of a child with ASD who had significant difficulty with eye patch therapy for anisometropic amblyopia and was treated with visual acuity training using Occlu-pad, a dichoptic therapy device. This treatment led to marked improvement in visual acuity and high compliance. After 3 months of home-based therapy for 30 min per day, the best corrected visual acuity in the right eye improved from logarithm of minimum angle of resolution of 0.5 to 0.0, with an average compliance rate of 92%. This case highlights the importance of flexible treatment approaches tailored to individual patient characteristics in managing amblyopia in children with ASD and also demonstrates the potential utility of dichoptic therapy using Occlu-pad.
