Effect of active vision therapy on contrast sensitivity in bilateral amblyopia.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 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
aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of combining patching with active vision therapy, compared to patching with placebo training on contrast sensitivity (CS) in pediatric participants with bilateral refractive amblyopia.
methodsIn this double-blind, clinical trial, 43 participants aged 5-8 with bilateral refractive amblyopia, unresponsive to spectacles, were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (active vision therapy plus patching) or the control group (placebo treatment with patching) for four months. Active therapy included anti-suppression, accommodative, vergence, and visual memory exercises. CS was measured at baseline and after four months, serving as key outcome measures.
resultsForty participants (20 in each group) completed the study. The mean age for the experimental group (5 males) was 6.10±0.84y, and 6.50±1.15y for the control group (11 males). CS in the experimental group improved by 0.10 log (right eye), 0.14 log (left eye), and 0.07 log binocularly (
conclusionActive vision therapy leads to significant and accelerates improvements in CS among children with bilateral refractive amblyopia.
