Effect of green flickering light on myopia development and expression of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in guinea pigs.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
aimTo investigate the effects of green flickering light on refractive development and expression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) M1 in the eyes of guinea pigs.
methodsThirty guinea pigs (15-20 days old) were randomly divided into three groups (
resultsThere was a remarkable reduction in refractive error and increase in axial length after 8-weeks' green flickering light stimulation (
conclusionMyopia can be induced by 8 weeks' green flickering light exposure in the animal model. M1 receptor may be involved causally or protectively in myopia development.
