Apgar score and reduced vision in children aged 3 to 6 years.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeWe aimed to examine the association between the 5-min Apgar score and reduced vision in children 3 to 6 years of age.
methodsA total of 5834 preschool children aged 3 to 6 years participated in this school-based eye survey. Reduced vision was defined as unaided distance vision of 6/12 or worse in the better-seeing eye. The 5-min Apgar scores of the participants were retrieved from medical records.
resultsThe overall prevalence of reduced vision in this population was 6.63 % (95 % confidence interval [CI] 5.99-7.27). In multivariate analysis, the presence of reduced vision was associated with a low 5-min Apgar score at birth (<7 vs. 7-10; odds ratio [OR] = 1.66, 95 % CI 1.48-3.05) after adjusting for age, gender, parental history of myopia, maternal age, gestational age, and birth weight. In addition, both myopia and amblyopia were associated with Apgar scores of less than 7 in multivariate analyses.
conclusionsChildren with 5-min Apgar scores of less than 7 were more likely to have reduced vision at the age of 3 to 6 years.
