Distribution and analysis of intraocular pressure and its possible association with glaucoma in children.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo analyze intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma-associated factors in children.
methodsA total of 4438 children aged 7-16 years (2321 boys and 2117 girls) were included in this study. Various ophthalmologic [IOP, central corneal thickness (CCT), etc.] and demographic (body mass index, etc.) parameters were evaluated.
resultsIOP increased between the ages of 7 and 9 years, peaking at 9 years. IOP increased after reaching a trough at 11 years and subsequently stabilized after 14 years. Girls exhibited thinner CCT (534.28 ± 30.84 µm vs. 537.04 ± 31.33 µm, P = 0.003), thicker lens thickness (3.56 ± 0.21 mm vs. 3.54 ± 0.20 mm, P = 0.001), shorter axial length (22.91 ± 0.93 mm vs. 23.32 ± 0.89 mm, P < 0.001), shallower anterior chamber depth (2.92 ± 0.27 mm vs. 3.00 ± 0.26 mm, P < 0.001), higher refraction (- 0.57 ± 1.48 D vs. 0.16 ± 1.35 D, P < 0.001), and higher mean corneal curvature (43.77 ± 1.39 vs. 43.03 ± 1.35, P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis assessed the following IOP-associated factors: thicker CCT [standardized correlation coefficient (SRC) = 0.201, P < 0.001), deeper anterior chamber depth (SRC = 0.059, P = 0.009), shorter axial length (SRC = - 0.086, P = 0.036), lower mean corneal curvature (SRC = - 0.123, P < 0.001), higher refraction (SRC = - 0.090, P < 0.001).
conclusionIOP fluctuated in children, and a trend toward a higher mean IOP between the ages of 9 and 11 years, which stabilized after 14 years, was observed. IOP was associated with CCT, anterior chamber depth, axial length, lens thickness, mean corneal curvature, spherical equivalent, and systolic blood pressure.
