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

aimTo determine the prevalence and characteristics of peripheral myopic retinopathy among a sample of Guangzhou office workers.

methodsA cross-sectional study of Guangzhou Chinese office works in different departments and units of the Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau, China, in 2016. Myopic retinopathy was recorded and analyzed with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and by slit-lamp microscopy combined with a three-mirror contact lens.

resultsIn total, 1910 eyes of 955 subjects (508 females and 447 males) aged 21-59y were included; 69.6% of these eyes were myopic. The myopia group had a younger age and worse uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) when compared with hyperopia and emmetropia groups (

conclusionMyopia-related retinal changes are positively associated with greater AL, higher SE, and myopia.
