The optic nerve head, lamina cribrosa, and nerve fiber layer in non-myopic and myopic children.
Article in Experimental eye research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the optic nerve head, lamina cribrosa, retina, and choroid in school age children using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to assess these structural parameters in relation to age, axial length, and refractive error. Healthy children, ages 11.15 ± 2.62 years (range 6-15 years, n = 53), underwent cycloplegic autorefraction, biometry, and SD-OCT imaging in both eyes. Images were analyzed using custom written programs in MATLAB, after adjustment for lateral magnification. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, retinal and choroidal thicknesses, Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) area, minimum rim width (MRW), and anterior lamina cribrosa surface depth (ALCSD) were determined and analyzed with age, axial length, and refraction. Results show that axial length increased and refractive error became more myopic with increasing age (R
