Myopia in schoolchildren in a rural community in the State of Mexico, Mexico.
Article in Clinical optometry, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThis study sought to determine the prevalence of myopia in schoolchildren of a rural population in Mexico.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 317 children between 6 and 12 years old. A complete refractive examination was performed, including static retinoscopy without cycloplegic agents. All procedures were conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki.
resultsIn total, 9.7% (95% CI: 13.07-6.52) of the examined children were myopic (spherical equivalent ≤ -0.50 D), 4.4% (95% CI: 6.66-2.14) presented astigmatism (cylinder ≤ -1.50 D), and 5.4% (95% CI: 7.89-2.91) presented hyperopia (spherical equivalent ≥ +0.50 D).
conclusionAdditional research is required to assess the prevalence of refractive errors in rural areas in Mexico, to analyze the associated risk factors, and to implement appropriate eye care plans for this population.
