[Prevention 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 3 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
To avoid complications of high myopia the best solution would be to prevent myopia development from the very beginning. Many studies have suggested that the frequently quoted myopia boom is related to changes in visual experiences during more demanding education and not due to changes in genetic factors. To avoid myopia development it would therefore be best to carry out a better control of visual experience of children. In this article new approaches are described to record and improve visual habits in children, e.g. new sensors attached to the spectacle frames to document brightness, reading distance and reading duration, changes in text contrast polarity during reading, potential role of smartphones and some not yet fully explored orally applied substances to inhibit myopia.
