Clinical effect of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens in improving vision and controlling myopia progression of unilateral high myopic children.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to explore the clinical effect of the RGP contact lens in improving vision and controlling myopia progression of the unilateral high myopic children.
methodsIn this retrospective analysis case series study, we analyzed the clinical data for 23 subjects with unilateral high myopic children under 6 years old, with the spherical equivalent refractive error of the myopic eye from -5.0 D to -12.0 D, who were enrolled from the outpatient clinic at Beijing Tongren Hospital, China. Fourteen subjects could successfully fit the RGP contact lens, and nine subjects used the spectacle lens. Complete ocular examination was performed at the first visit at the clinic and every three months during the follow-up period.
resultsIn the RGP group, the change of axial length (AL) of the high myopic eye was from 25.62 ± 1.31 mm to 25.69 ± 1.31 mm after 12 months. The change of spherical equivalent (SE) was from -8.73 ± 2.54 D to -8.48 ± 2.77 D. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 0.24 ± 0.18 to 0.78 ± 0.26. In the spectacle group, the change of AL was from 24.76 ± 0.56 mm to 24.94 ± 0.71 mm. The change of SE was from -6.16 ± 2.86 D to -9.45 ± 2.06 D. The improvement of BCVA was from 0.52 ± 0.15 to 0.72 ± 0.23.
conclusionsWearing RGP lens in the children with unilateral high myopia is a safe, convenient and effective method to improve the best corrected vision and controlling myopia progression.
