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
Changes in ocular aberrations over the visual field are relevant to ophthalmic imaging, peripheral laser therapies, the design of ophthalmic products, and the pathophysiology of ametropias. Cohorts of emmetropic and myopic eye models were used to quantify the isoplanatic patch - an angular field region of constant optical quality - as a function of visual field position, wavelength, pupil size, accommodation, and ophthalmic correction modality. At any visual field point, isoplanatic patches are larger for longer wavelengths and/or smaller pupil diameters than for shorter wavelengths and/or larger pupils. Average cohort patches are largest near fixation and decrease monotonically and roughly equivalently in all directions away from the fovea in a manner best fit by a double Gaussian, reflecting faster changes in patch size over the more central field. Approximately a 150 nm step in wavelength caused a statistically significant change in patch size, as did a 1 mm diameter change in pupil size, and a 4 D change in accommodative response. The myopic cohort had smaller isoplanatic patches (more rapid change in aberration structure) than the emmetropic cohort; significance depended on specific pupil sizes and wavelengths. Patch shape definitions, isoplanatic thresholds, optical metrics, and field sampling increments are compared; and differences between relative peripheral refraction and isoplanatic patch size are discussed. The results describe the trade-off of system- and eye-variables when optimizing retinal imaging. The relative change in the isoplanatic patch size relates to refractive cohort differences and the impact of ophthalmic products on the rate-of-change of peripheral aberrations and local retinal contrast.
