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

Introduction: Vision problems are common in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). Inpatient eye care is ad hoc in the UK, and once patients with ABI are discharged from hospital care, community eye care provision is typically non-standardised and frequently leads to substantial unmet needs and health inequalities for patients. Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to identify and describe the components of existing service delivery models of care in relation to the detection, care and management of visual impairment for adults and children with ABI. This is a protocol; no results will be published in this manuscript. Methods: We will search multiple databases to include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, APA PsycINFO and The Cochrane Library for English language publications from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Supplementary searches will also be conducted to locate grey literature. We will include any study that describes or assesses service delivery for adults and children with visual impairment following ABI in health and social care and education settings. Stakeholder Engagement: We consulted with a broad range of stakeholders, including subject experts from health and education sectors and patient and public representatives during the planning, and will continue the same during the conduct, reporting and dissemination of this scoping review.
