Visual symptom burden after traumatic brain injury: a case-control evaluation of the Arabic BIVSS.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To compare visual symptoms between adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and controls using the Brain Injury Vision Symptom Survey (BIVSS) and identify the domains with the largest differences. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional case-control study, 43 adults with TBI and 54 controls in Qassim, Saudi Arabia, completed the 28-item BIVSS. Total and eight domain scores (visual clarity, visual comfort, double vision, light sensitivity, dry eye, depth perception, peripheral vision, reading) were compared with Welch's Results: Groups were similar in age and gender. TBI participants reported higher total BIVSS scores than controls (27.9 vs. 13.1; Conclusion: Adults with TBI reported substantially greater vision-related symptoms on the Arabic BIVSS than controls, with prominent differences in two out of eight domains: visual comfort and reading. The BIVSS supports symptom profiling to flag patients for targeted visual assessment after TBI; it is not a diagnostic test, and cut-offs are exploratory and sample-specific, requiring external validation. Cross-sectional differences between acute and chronic subgroups warrant longitudinal study before inferences about recovery can be drawn.
