Role of 0.01% atropine in high myopic children of Moradabad, India (RAMCOM Study).
Trial report in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: Low-concentration atropine is an emerging therapy for myopia progression, but its efficacy remains uncertain among high myopic children. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-concentration atropine eye drop (0.01%) in high myopic children. Methods: A non-randomized, parallel-group, longitudinal interventional cohort study. Myopic children were divided into two groups: (1) the intervention arm of children who received one drop of topical 0.01% atropine once a day at bedtime and (2) the control arm, in which enrolled children who were on observation only. Repeated measurements of spherical equivalent refractive errors (SERs) were performed at baseline and 1 and 2 years after treatment. Results: A total of 37 eyes were enrolled in the intervention arm (allocated to 0.01% atropine at year 1 follow-up) and 23 eyes in the control arm. After 1 year of 0.01% atropine therapy, the myopia progression was 0.15 ± 0.9 D in the intervention group versus 1.1 ± 1 D in the control group (P = 0.001). Similarly, after 2 years of treatment, the myopia progression was 0.3 ± 1.1 D in the intervention group versus 1.4 ± 1.1 D in the control group (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: Compared to no treatment, 0.01% atropine treatment had shown better effect on myopia progression in high myopic children.
