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

Colour vision changes are a key clinical feature of many acquired retinal and optic nerve disorders. Current clinical tests are often labour-intensive or designed for congenital defects. We introduce the novel LSS-8 test, which measures colour saturation thresholds across eight hues. Three cohorts with mixed ocular health underwent testing in a diagnostic crossover study. The reliability cohort was tested with LSS-4 on different days (n = 30 eyes). The screen independence cohort used LSS-8 with 11-inch versus 13-inch screens in random order (n = 27 eyes). Brightness independence testing used LSS-8 at 115 cd/m
