LMS parameters, percentile, and Z-score growth curves for axial length in Chinese schoolchildren in Wuhan.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Understanding the ocular structural changes are fundamental to defining strategies for myopia prevention and management. This study aimed to establish age-gender specific normative LMS parameters for axial length to generate percentile and Z-score growth curves in a population of Chinese schoolchildren. A total of 14,760 individuals aged 6 to 15 years from Wuhan, central China, contributed to this study. The LMS method was used for the calculation of LMS parameters and the generation of percentile and Z-score growth curves for axial length. Growth curves derived from the LMS parameters were compared with those originally calculated. Axial elongation was age- and percentile-dependent. The highest elongation rate occurred at the 98th percentile in the range 6 to 9 years, being up to 1.46 mm in boys and 1.42 mm in girls. The largest differences between original and newly generated growth curves were detected at the 98th percentile at age 15; 0.78 mm (females) and 0.63 mm (males). Multinomial logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses revealed Z-scores as a good predictor for estimating high myopia development. The axial length growth curves presented in this study provide a technically solid instrument that depicts the best description of physiological eye growth for Chinese schoolchildren aged 6 to 15 years.
