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
The age-related decline in accommodative function after the age of 50 years corresponds with an increasing incidence of primary angle-closure disease (PACD); however, the interaction between this decline and PACD remains unexamined. Additionally, refractive error-accommodation associations in elderly individuals, which are critical for PACD pathophysiology, remain unclear, despite a prior pediatric focus. This study evaluated visual functions (including binocular vision, vergence function, and accommodation function) in patients diagnosed with PACD. A total of 51 patients (102 eyes) were included in this prospective study. The subjects were categorized into the following three groups: primary angle-closure/primary angle-closure glaucoma (PAC/PACG), primary angle-closure suspect (PACS), and a control group. Various parameters, including best-corrected near visual acuity, refractive error, Worth's 4 Dot test results, stereoacuity, vergence facility, accommodative facility (AF), and amplitude of accommodation (AMP), were measured and compared across the groups. A negative correlation was noted between AMP and refractive error (p < 0.001). After controlling for age and refractive error, no significant difference in AMP was detected; however, a statistically significant difference in AF was noted among the groups. PACS (p = 0.002) and PAC/PACG (p = 0.048) emerged as independent predictors of strong AF compared with normal controls. No significant differences in best-corrected near visual acuity, binocular vision, or vergence facility were observed between the groups. This research demonstrated that patients diagnosed with PACS and PAC/PACG exhibited stronger AF compared with the control group. Furthermore, a negative correlation between AMP and refractive error was observed within the elderly population. This research characterizes the correlation between refractive status and accommodative function, while establishing a link between accommodative function and PACD. Future studies on PACD pathogenesis and clinical management should prioritize accommodative function as a key research focus.
