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: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week multimodal motor-cognitive and resistance training (MMI) compared to a unimodal resistance training intervention (UMI) on static and dynamic visual function in glaucoma (GLA) patients and healthy controls (HC). Methods: Fifteen GLA and 24 age-matched HC participated in this randomized, controlled longitudinal pilot study. Visual function was assessed using clinical parameters and on a treadmill (TM) while standing (static, S Results: Post-interventional improvement of visual function was absent or minor. Only the main effect of TIME (visual acuity; p = 0.024) and a TIME × INTERVENTION interaction (foveal sensitivity; p = 0.039) were found for standard clinical measures. For S Conclusion: While trends were evident in this pilot study, the effect of the 12-week interventions on visual function was non-significant and, especially for TM-walking, largely independent of group and intervention type. In future studies, a greater sample size, with more advanced GLA cases, should be included to probe for significant visual function differences between groups and intervention types.
