Differences of body height, axial length, and refractive error at different ages in Kumejima study.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeTo determine the relationships between the axial length (AL), refractive error (RE), and body height (BH) at different ages of a genetically-stable population in Kumejima, Japan.
methodsCross-sectional, population-based study. Residents of Kumejima who were ≥ 40-years old were studied. The eligible residents had a thorough ocular examinations including measurements of the AL, RE, and BH. The subjects were divided into decade groups. The relationships between the AL, the RE, and the BH of the different decades were determined.
resultsReliable measurements of the AL of the right eyes were obtained from 2198 (1103 men and 1095 women) normal subjects. There was a significant and negative correlation between the age and the BH (r = -0.44, P < 0.001) and the AL (r = -0.27, P < 0.001). There were significant and positive correlations between the BH and AL in all subjects (r = 0.38, P < 0.001). There was a significant and positive correlation between the BH and the AL in all age brackets (r = 0.26~0.49, P < 0.001). There was a significant and positive correlation between the age and RE (spherical equivalent; r = 0.49, P < 0.001). There were significant and negative correlations between the BH and RE in all subjects (r = -0.29, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThe younger individuals tend to be taller, have longer AL, and are more myopic. Considering the marked improvement of the nutritional status during the growth period of each generation and its close association with BH, nutrition may be one of factors that is related to the increase in the prevalence of myopia in the younger generation.
