Prevalence of reduced visual acuity among adolescents in Jiaocheng County, Shanxi Province.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo investigate the prevalence of reduced visual acuity among adolescents in Jiaocheng County, Shanxi Province.
methodsFourteen thousand fifty-one Jiaocheng County students aged 7 to 21 were chosen to engage in this research project in 2019. For uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) testing, a 5 m standard logarithmic visual sharpness E chart was utilized, and for diopter examination of those with reduced UCDVA, computerized optometry was used. The factors linked to reduced UCDVA in students were investigated using logistic regression analysis.
resultsIn Jiaocheng County, Shanxi Province, the prevalence of reduced UCDVA among adolescents was 77.54% in 2019, with the highest rate of severely reduced UCDVA at 47.58% and myopia accounting for the highest proportion of reduced UCDVA, with myopia rates above 90% in all age groups. Girls, those who live in counties, those who are anxious about their studies, and those who dedicate more time to schoolwork are more prone to suffer from a decrease in UCDVA; those who spend more time outdoors and get adequate sleep are less likely to have reduced UCDVA, according to logistic regression analysis.
conclusionAdolescents in Jiaocheng County, Shanxi Province, have a high prevalence of reduced UCDVA, and interventions targeting key populations should be increased based on effective prevention and control of reduced UCDVA among local adolescents.
