The Influence of Parents' Background and Their Perception on the Progression of Myopia in Children.
Article in International journal of clinical practice, 2022. 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
Purpose: To study the influence of parents' educational backgrounds and understanding on the progress of myopia in their offspring. Methods: Spherical equivalent refraction (SE) of the children (aged 6-14) in China was assessed with cycloplegic autorefraction in a two-year longitudinal study. The parents' background information and myopia-related cognition were collected by questionnaires. Results: The offspring of parents with lower education and more myopic SE had higher myopic progression (mean = -1.42 ± 1.06) than the children of other groups ( Conclusions: Most parents misunderstand the influence of insufficient outdoor sports time and extracurricular classes, which require extra near-vision work. Besides, for parents with low educational background and more myopic SE, their offspring had higher myopia progression and may be the key group for myopia control. Finally, parents may obtain life advice and knowledge related to preventing myopia after their children become myopic. It may be of positive significance if this process could take place before myopia onset.
