[Epidemiology and anatomy of myopia].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe prevalence of myopia has markedly increased, particularly in the young generations in East and Southeast Asia.
objectiveThe aim is to describe the epidemiology of myopia and the morphological alterations associated with myopia. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe results of epidemiological, clinical and histological studies are summarized.
resultsDuring the last three decades the prevalence of myopia has markedly increased so that currently 80-90% of 18-years-olds in East Asia are myopic and 10-20% are highly myopic. It is estimated that by 2050 the frequency of myopia worldwide will increase to 50% and high myopia to ca. 10% and high myopia will become the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness due to the association with myopic maculopathy and glaucomatous optic nerve atrophy. Myopia is morphologically characterized by predominantly sagittal and to a lesser extent coronal enlargement of the eyeball. This results in retinal thinning and reduction in the density of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the equatorial region, thinning of the choroid and sclera mostly at the posterior pole, normal retinal thickness and RPE density in the macular region, normal thickness of Bruch's membrane (BM) in any region, elongated disc-fovea distance due to the development of parapapillary gamma and delta zones, enlargement and vertical rotation of the optic disc and elongation and thinning of the lamina cribrosa and peripapillary scleral flange. DISCUSSION: These morphological alterations can possibly be explained by a new formation and elongation of the BM in the equatorial region leading to sagittal elongation of the eyeball.
