Thicker Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer with Age among Schoolchildren: The Hong Kong Children Eye Study.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
This study aims to investigate the effect of age on the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (p-RNFL) thickness among schoolchildren. A total of 4034 children aged 6-8 years old received comprehensive ophthalmological examinations. p-RNFL thickness was measured from a circular scan (⌀ = 3.4 mm) captured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Associations between p-RNFL thickness with ocular and systemic factors were determined by multivariate linear regression after adjusting potential confounders using generalized estimating equations (GEE). The mean global p-RNFL thickness was 106.60 ± 9.41 μm (range: 72 to 171 μm) in the right eyes, 105.99 ± 9.30 μm (range: 76 to 163 μm) in the left eyes, and 106.29 ± 9.36 μm (range: 72 to 171 μm) across both eyes. Age was positively correlated with p-RNFL after adjusting for axial length (AL) and confounding factors (β = 0.509;
