The evolution of mechanism of accommodation and a novel hypothesis.
Review in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Myopia and presbyopia are two major optometry problems facing the whole society. The mechanism of accommodation is strongly related to the treatments of myopia and presbyopia. However, the key mechanism of accommodation has puzzled us for over 400 years and is still not clear at present, leading to the stagnation of prevention and treatment of myopia and presbyopia. With the continued development of experimental technologies and equipment, the approaches to elucidate accommodation's intricacies have become more methodological and sophisticated. Fortunately, some significant progress has been made. This article is to review the evolution of the mechanism of accommodation. Helmholtz proposed a classical theory of "zonules relax during accommodation." In contrast, Schachar put forward a theory of "zonules taut during accommodation." Those hypotheses are relatively complete, but either do not fully explain everything about the accommodation mechanism or lack sufficient experimental and clinical evidence to support them. Then, some contentious issues are discussed in detail to find the truth. Finally, we proposed our hypothesis about accommodation based on the anatomy of the accommodative apparatus.
