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

Free-viewing perimetry is a continuous psychophysical paradigm that aims to assess visual field defects (VFD) while relying solely on an analysis of recorded gaze. Such an approach could benefit patients who cannot be assessed using standard automated perimetry. Previous research has demonstrated that gaze behavior during the free viewing of movie clips contains information on the integrity of the visual field. Yet, thus far, no single analytical approach could reconstruct all types of (simulated) VFD. In the current study, we take a distinctive analytical approach towards VFD reconstruction by explicitly taking into account events that were not gazed at, rather than primarily focussing on those that were. To demonstrate the potential of this approach, we re-analyzed previously recorded data from a gaze-contingent simulated VFD experiment. We compared a participant's gaze behavior to that of control participants while they watched different movie clips. In our analysis, we give specific weight to the events that were prioritized by the control participants, yet missed out upon by those with simulated defects. Our findings indicate that this approach allows us to reliably detect the presence of, and to varying degrees reconstruct five types of simulated visual field defects. We conclude that free-viewing perimetry is feasible and may form the foundation for an inclusive complement to standard automated perimetry.
