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
objectiveTo demonstrate the clinical efficacy of a homemade Chinese herbal fumigation eye patch in the prevention and treatment of myopia in children and adolescents.
methodsIn this retrospective study, participants were grouped according to different intervention methods. A primary school was selected, wherein 50 myopic students in each grade and a total of 300 from the 6 grades were selected as the observation group. According to the 1:1 matching principle, another 300 myopic students matched with the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), gender, and class were selected as the control group. The observation group was treated with the Chinese herbal fumigation patch, once daily between 12:00 and 13:00, 10-15 min/time, for 30 consecutive days. The control group did not get any intervention measures. The UCVA, diopter (D), and axial length (AXL) of both groups were recorded on the 1st, 15th, and 30th day after enrollment.
resultsSix hundred children and adolescents, including 324 males and 276 females with an average age of (8.8±2.3) years and UCVA of (4.51±0.37), were included, with none lost to follow up. No statistical significance was determined in pre-interventional TCM syndrome distribution, D and AXL between groups (all
conclusionsThe homemade Chinese herbal fumigation eye patch can improve UCVA, delaying D deterioration and preventing eye axial lengthening among myopic children and adolescents, with clinical popularization value.
