Prevalence of Visual Symptoms and Deficits Among Inpatients with Acquired Brain Injury.
Article in Neurology international, 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
objectivesTo determine the prevalence of visual deficits among inpatients with acquired brain injury, to examine the agreement between objective screenings and patient-reported visual deficits, and to investigate patient characteristics associated with visual deficits.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included data on screened and patient-reported visual deficits in patients with acquired brain injury admitted for inpatient rehabilitation. The screenings were conducted by occupational therapists. Visual acuity and visual field were assessed in 2014-2023, and complemented by assessment of ocular motility and patient-reported deficits in 2021-2023. Predictive values were calculated for the agreement between screening results and patient-reported symptoms. Logistic regression models were applied to investigate the association between clinical characteristics and visual deficits.
results2814 patients were screened, 65% were men, the median age was 64 years, and the most common diagnosis was stroke (66%). In screened patients 32% had reduced visual acuity, 18% had ocular motility deficits, and 15% had visual field deficits. Of 975 patients providing self-reports, 38% reported vision problems. A total of 28% of patients who did not report visual deficits, had visual deficits in the objective screening. Lower functional level was associated with greater odds of having any visual deficits. Traumatic and anoxic brain injuries were associated with lower odds of visual field deficits compared with stroke.
conclusionsThe high proportion of patients with visual deficits underlines that these are common consequences following acquired brain injury. Objective screening and patient-reported deficits offer overlapping yet distinct insights into visual deficits. Knowledge of clinical characteristics associated with visual deficits may help recognize high-risk subgroups.
