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 establish population-specific normative data for non-strabismic binocular vision (NSBV) parameters in Nepalese young adults and to evaluate their association with age and gender. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study included asymptomatic adults aged 18-35 years who underwent comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation and standardized accommodative and binocular vision assessments. The mean and standard deviation were used to describe the central tendency and dispersion of the study parameters, respectively. Intergroup comparisons were performed using ANOVA and independent t-tests. Results: A total of 1,393 participants completed all NSBV assessments. The mean age of the participants was 25.04 ± 4.79 years. The mean values for key NSBV parameters were as follows: amplitude of accommodation, 8.75 ± 1.53 D; accommodative response (MEM), 0.50 ± 0.30 D; monocular accommodative facility, 9.98 ± 3.55 cpm; binocular accommodative facility, 6.39 ± 2.79 cpm; near point of convergence (break), 4.82 ± 1.50 cm; distance phoria, 0.19 ± 0.79 exophoria; near phoria, 2.96 ± 2.65 exophoria; and AC/A ratio, 2.61 ± 1.23. Amplitude of accommodation showed a strong negative association with age (AA = 16.20 - 0.30 × age; Conclusion: This study provides the first large-scale normative clinical dataset of NSBV parameters in Nepalese young adults. Age significantly influences accommodative parameters, whereas gender-related differences are minimal. These population-specific normative values may support the screening, accurate diagnosis, and management of NSBVA and provide a contemporary reference for clinicians and researchers working with South Asian populations.
