1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: This study examines the distribution and development of intraocular pressure (IOP) in infants aged from 0 to 36 months and analyzes its correlation with corneal diameter. Methods: The study used a retrospective case analysis methodology. Healthy infants treated in the ophthalmology department of Hebei Children's Hospital from December 2012 to December 2020 were included in the study. Among these infants, 385 had their IOP measured, and 432 had their corneal diameters measured. Furthermore, information such as birth history, growth and development, IOP, and corneal diameter were collected. Their IOPs were measured with an iCare portable rebound tonometer when the child was awake and calm, and the corneal diameter was measured with a Castroviejo caliper under chloral hydrate sedation. The infants were divided into five groups according to age, and SPSS statistical software was used to analyze, compare, and correlate IOP and corneal diameter variations. Results: The mean IOP values of 0-1 month, 1-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months and 24-36 months groups were 7.42 ± 1.92, 9.10 ± 2.85, 12.00 ± 3.15, 13.72 ± 3.09, and 15.14 ± 2.67 mmHg, respectively. The differences in IOP of the 0-1 month old infants and the 1-6 months old infants with the other three groups were statistically significant; the difference in IOP between the 6-12 months group and the 24-36 months group was statistically significant. In the studied groups, the horizontal corneal diameters were 9.78 ± 0.14, 10.50 ± 0.29, 10.86 ± 0.23, 11.38 ± 0.07, and 11.72 ± 0.04 mm, respectively, and the vertical diameters of the cornea were 9.28 ± 0.26, 10.07 ± 0.18, 10.28 ± 0.14, 10.56 ± 0.24, and 10.85 ± 0.03 mm, respectively. The differences in the vertical and horizontal diameters of the cornea among the groups were statistically significant. Conclusion: Infants' IOP and corneal diameter positively correlate with age, and they peak in the first 12 months.
