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

This study examined anterior corneal, internal ocular, and total ocular higher order aberrations (HOA's), and retinal image quality in a non-myopic, paediatric cohort. Anterior corneal aberrations were derived from corneal topography data captured using a Placido disk videokeratoscope (E300, Medmont International), and whole eye HOA's were measured using a Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor (COAS-HD, Wavefront Sciences). The associations between HOA's and age, sex, refractive error, and axial length were explored using correlation analyses. Data for 84 children aged between 5 and 12 years (mean ± standard deviation spherical equivalent refraction (SER), +0.63 ± 0.35 D; range 0.00 to +1.75 D) were included, and an eighth order Zernike polynomial was fit for 4 and 6 mm pupil diameters for both the anterior corneal and total ocular HOA's, from which internal ocular HOA's were calculated via subtraction following alignment to a common reference axis (pupil centre). Internal ocular HOA's were of greater magnitude than previous studies of adolescents and adults, however partial internal "compensation" of HOA's was observed, which resulted in reduced levels of HOA's and excellent retinal image quality. Few significant associations were observed between HOA's and age, SER, and axial length (all correlations, p > 0.001), and there were minimal sex-based differences (all comparisons, p > 0.005).
