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

Purpose: To identify children with Angelman syndrome (AS) and Duplication of 15q (Dup15q) syndrome who have cerebral/cortical visual impairment (CVI) using clinical examination combined with eye tracking. Design: Prospective cohort study. Participants: Twenty-five children (12 months to 12 years old) with AS and Dup15q syndrome, collectively termed 15q disorders. Methods: All participants underwent complete pediatric neuro-ophthalmologic evaluation, including assessment of visual acuity using the Visual Behavior Scale (VBS) and Teller acuity cards. The Higher Visual Function Question Inventory (HVFQI) was administered to assess parental report of behaviors suggestive of CVI. Eye tracking was performed in participants who were able to complete accurate calibration. Participants were also administered the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) Visual Reception scale, as well as non-visual subscales. Parents completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3 Main outcome measures: Proportion of participants classified as having diagnosis or high suspicion of CVI (15q-CVI-DHS) based on multimodal visual assessments; association between CVI status and MSEL, VABS-III, and CVFQ scores. Results: 15 of 25 (60%) of 15q participants were classified as 15q-CVI-DHS. Of these, 6 (40%) were classified based on eye tracking alone. Compared to children with low suspicion of CVI, children in the 15q-CVI-DHS group had lower MSEL visual reception (17.6 ± 12.4 vs. 43.9 ± 25.7, Discussion: Children with 15q disorders had a high rate of CVI or CVI suspect diagnosis, which was detected by eye tracking alone in 40% of cases. CVI was associated with worse vision-specific quality of life and lower developmental scores on multiple non-visual domains in these children. Future studies are needed to substantiate these findings in a larger cohort and characterize differences between genetic subtypes.
