Effect of duration, and temporal modulation, of monochromatic light on emmetropization in chicks.

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
Previous experiments disagree on the effect of monochromatic light on emmetropization. Some species respond to wavelength defocus created by longitudinal chromatic aberration and become more myopic in monochromatic red light and more hyperopic in monochromatic blue light, while other species do not. Using the chicken model, we studied the effect of the duration of light exposure, modes of lighting, and circadian interruption on emmetropization in monochromatic light. To achieve this goal, we exposed one-week-old chicks to flickering or steady monochromatic red or blue light for a short (10 days) or long (17 days) duration; other chicks were exposed to white light for 10 days. Refraction and ocular biometry were measured. Activity was measured via a motion detection algorithm and an IR camera. The results showed that in both steady and flickering light, there was a greater increase in axial length and vitreous chamber depth in chicks exposed to red or white light compared to chicks exposed to blue light. With a longer duration of exposure, axial length and vitreous chamber depth differences were no longer observed, except at an intermediate time point. Chicks exposed to red light were more active during the day compared to chicks exposed to blue light. We conclude that our results indicate that with short duration monochromatic light exposure, chicks rely on wavelength defocus to guide emmetropization. With longer exposure from hatching, our results support the notion that responses to wavelength defocus can be transient and that the difference between species may be due to differences in experimental duration and/or interference with circadian activity rhythms.
