Macular Retinal Microvasculature of Hyperopia, Emmetropia, and Myopia in Children.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Purpose: To compare macular retinal microcirculation in myopia, emmetropia, and hyperopia groups and investigate the relationship between macular retinal microcirculation and axial length (AL) in children. Methods: Forty myopic, 29 emmetropic, and 34 hyperopic eyes were included. All the recruited eyes underwent optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) examinations. After adjusting the image size by the Littmann method and Bennett formula, the vessel density (VD) of the deep capillary plexus (DCP) and superficial vascular plexus (SVP) were assessed. Results: The VD of the DCP was significantly lower in the myopia group than in the hyperopia group, whereas no significant differences in the VD of the SVP were observed among the myopia, emmetropia, and hyperopia groups. The VD of the DCP was significantly associated with AL, spherical equivalent (SE), and foveal retinal thickness (FRT), whereas the VD of the SVP was only significantly associated with FRT but not with AL or SE. Conclusions: The myopic VD of the DCP was significantly lower than the hyperopic one, and the VD of the DCP was significantly associated with AL, indicating that myopia has a lower VD of the DCP, and AL could have a negative effect on the VD of the DCP. Thus, early myopic axial stretching might decrease retinal blood perfusion of the DCP in children.
