1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 assess age-and sex-related differences of anterior segment parameters in a myopic clinical sample.

methodsThis clinic-based retrospective study involved eligible subjects grouped into myopia (i.e., low-to-moderate) and high myopia. Demographics and anterior segment parameters measures were recorded and analyzed.

resultsSome 153 eligible eyes were analyzed-98 myopia and 55 high myopia-comprising 87 males and 66 females. The mean ages and ranges were 28.47 years (SD = 9.59 years), 8-50 years, and 27.82 years (SD = 9.69 years), 10-51 years, for the myopia and the high myopia groups, respectively. The means of the spherical equivalents were - 3.02 D (SD = 1.46 D, range: - 0.50 to - 5.85 D), for the myopia group and - 10.42 D (SD = 5.50 D, range: - 6.00 to - 21.86 D) for the high myopia group. No significant difference was found between degree of myopia and anterior segment measures. Males had larger anterior chamber volume (mean 175.71 ± 26.27, range: 124-225 mm

conclusionSex has significant influence on the corneal curvature, anterior chamber volume and anterior chamber depth regardless of the degree of myopia.
