Calculation of silent substitution stimuli for full-field electroretinography using the SilentSubstiTutor application.

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
purposeThe silent substitution technique allows photoreceptor directed stimulation (i.e., the selective stimulation of different photoreceptor types or a specific combination of photoreceptor types).
methodsCalculation of these stimuli is not trivial, requiring complex matrix calculations based on specific datasets (spectral power distributions of primary lights, photoreceptor fundamentals, and optical densities of pre-receptoral filters). Several tools have been published that facilitate these calculations, including an excel file and a python library, but these are difficult to use without prior knowledge.
resultsWe introduce an online application that allows calculation of silent substitution stimuli in a graphical user interface (GUI) for common use-cases (3 to 5 primary lights, periodic stimuli modulated around an average setting of the test field, 10° standard observers).
conclusionThe goal is to provide a practical tool that can be used in these cases, but that can also be used as a teaching tool for beginners who plan to use the more sophisticated methods.
