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

purposeThis study investigated the effects of visual rehabilitation on binocular visual function in kindergarten children with developmental delay.

methodsThis study comprised a case series tracking changes in binocular visual function in three children with developmental delay during rehabilitation. The rehabilitation schedule was tailored to the specific circumstances of each child and was divided into three phases-baseline, intervention, and maintenance-aiming to observe the impact of rehabilitation on visual performance.

resultsAll three children presented with pre-existing visual deficits-including amblyopia, strabismus, and oculomotor dysfunction-which were associated with functional challenges such as frequent falls, postural instability, and reading difficulties. Following the multidisciplinary rehabilitation program, marked improvements were observed in visual acuity, accommodative facility, and stereopsis. Furthermore, parents reported a decrease in daily functional challenges, with these gains being sustained during the post-intervention follow-up.

conclusionsThis case series suggests that structured visual rehabilitation may improve binocular function and daily performance in children with developmental delays. These findings underscore that visual ability extends beyond mere visual acuity, highlighting the necessity of assessing multidimensional visual functions in special education and rehabilitative practice.
