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

purposeTo evaluate the visual, functional, educational, and mobility outcomes of a comprehensive pediatric low vision rehabilitation (LVR) program and determine whether electronic low vision aids (LVAs) provide additional benefit.

methodsA multicenter prospective observational cohort study was conducted across three tertiary low vision rehabilitation centers in Jordan. Two hundred children aged 6-16 years with moderate-to-severe visual impairment were enrolled. The intervention group (

resultsAt 12 months, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in distance VA from 0.87 ± 0.13 to 0.65 ± 0.11 LogMAR (mean change -0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.25 to -0.19;

conclusionsComprehensive pediatric low vision rehabilitation improved visual, educational, and mobility outcomes. In an exploratory subgroup analysis, children using electronic low vision aids demonstrated greater functional improvement than those using non-electronic low vision aids.
