High Myopia and Thickness of Extraocular and Masticatory Muscles-7T MRI, Preliminary Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
(1) Background: Myopia is one of the most common refractive errors in the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the transverse dimensions of selected masticatory muscles (temporalis muscle and masseter muscle) versus the transverse dimensions of selected extraocular muscles (superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus and lateral rectus) in emmetropic and high myopic subjects. (2) Methods: Twenty-seven individuals were included in the analysis, resulting in 24 eyeballs of patients with high myopia and 30 eyeballs of emmetropic subjects. A 7 Tesla resonance was used to analyze the described muscles. (3) Results: Statistical analysis showed differences in all analyzed extraocular muscles and all analyzed masticatory muscles between emmetropic subjects and high myopic subjects. In the high myopic subject group, statistical analysis showed four correlations. The three negative correlations were between the lateral rectus muscle and an axial length eyeball, refractive error and an axial length eyeball, and the inferior rectus muscle and visual acuity. The positive correlation was between the lateral rectus muscle and the medial rectus muscle. (4) Conclusions: The high myopic subjects are characterized by a larger cross-sectional area of extraocular muscles and masticatory muscles compared to the emmetropic subjects. Correlations were observed between the thickness of the extraocular muscles and the masticatory muscles. The lateral rectus muscle was related to the length of the eyeball. The phenomenon requires further study.
