Mozart's Music Reduces Fixation Loss in Visual Field Testing.

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
Purpose: This study investigates the impact of Mozart's music on the reliability of visual field testing among healthy Thai individuals, using a large sample population. Methods: Automated perimetry was conducted on the right eyes of 163 perimetry-naive participants using a Humphrey Field Analyzer III (SITA standard 24-2 program). Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: control (no auditory input), headphones (noise-canceling headphones without music), and Mozart (headphones with Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K. 448). Each group received a 10 min pretest intervention according to their group assignment. Key perimetric indices, including fixation loss (FL), false positives (FP), false negatives (FN), test duration, mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD), and sensitivity depression in total and pattern deviation (TD and PD) plots, were collected and analyzed across groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The mean percentages of FL were 14.3% (95% CI 9.2%-19.4%) in the control group, 13.4% (95% CI 7.8%-19%) in the headphones group, and 6.4% (95% CI 4%-8.8%) in the Mozart group. An improvement in FL was observed between the control and Mozart groups ( Conclusions: Mozart's music may facilitate enhanced concentration and spatial reasoning among individuals undergoing visual field testing with automated perimetry. Consequently, its application in clinical settings has the potential to improve the FL, a reliability index of visual field assessment.
