Clinical Efficacy of Auricular Acupressure plus Eye Exercises in the Treatment of Adolescent Pseudomyopia.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of auricular acupressure plus eye exercises in the treatment of adolescent pseudomyopia, to discover an easier and safer way to treat pseudomyopia. Methods: Forty adolescent patients with pseudomyopia were randomly recruited and assigned (1 : 1) to receive either eye exercises (single group, including 11 males and 9 females) or auricular acupressure plus eye exercises (combined group, including 12 males and 8 females). The clinical endpoint was the clinical efficacy after 28 days of treatment. Results: The baseline characteristics of the combined group were comparable with those of the single group ( Conclusion: Ear acupressure plus eye exercises features promising clinical efficacy in the treatment of adolescent pseudomyopia, effectively arresting the progression of pseudomyopia to true myopia.
