The diversified defocus profile of the near-work environment and myopia development.
Article in Ophthalmic & physiological optics : the journal of the British College of Ophthalmic Opticians (Optometrists), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07401511 (A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Dynamic Spatiotemporal Optical Film), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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.

Abstract
purposeTo quantify the defocus characteristics in the near-work environment at home and investigate the relationship with subsequent myopia progression.
methodsFifty subjects (aged 7-12 years) were recruited and followed for 1 year. The home near-work environment (writing desk) was measured at a baseline home-visit using the Kinect-for-Windows to capture a 3-dimensional image. The depth values of the image were then converted into scene defocus with respect to the subject's viewpoint. The defocus characteristics were quantified as the dioptric volume (the total amount of net defocus, or DV) and standard deviation of the defocus values (SD
resultsThe baseline spherical equivalent refraction (M) and refraction change over 1 year (∆M) were - 1.51 ± 2.02 D and - 0.56 ± 0.45 D respectively. DV was not significantly correlated with ∆M (Spearman's ρ = -0.25, p = 0.08), while SD
conclusionThe defocus profile in the home environment within the para-central field of view is associated with childhood refractive error development.
