Review in Juntendo Iji zasshi = Juntendo medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Kinetic vision acuity (KVA) is an index developed in Japan that refers to the capacity to recognize a moving object that moves back and forth against the observer. This review outlines the history of KVA and studies on KVA conducted at the Faculty of Health and Sports Science of Juntendo University, i.e. characteristics of KVA in athletes, factors associated with KVA, sports and age-dependent decline of KVA, and effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and astaxanthin on KVA. KVA was defined in the early 1960s, and the measurement device was invented in 1968. Studies at the Faculty of Health and Sports Science began in the 1990s. In track-and-field athletics and skeleton, a winter downhill event, higher-ranked athletes had higher KVA than lower-ranked athletes. Although KVA cannot be predicted from static visual acuity or reaction time, a significant correlation was found between KVA and the peak latency of visual-evoked potentials. KVA could not be improved by training and did not change between age of 8 and 17 years. In contrast, habitual practice in kendo may inhibit the age-dependent decline in KVA. DHA may also improve KVA in subjects with low KVA; however, astaxanthin did not improve KVA.
