Time trends in myopia and high myopia prevalence in young university adults in China.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimTo investigate time trends in myopia and high myopia prevalence over 6y among young university adults in China.
methodsThis is a 6-year series cross-sectional study from 2016 to 2021. Totally 4910 freshmen were enrolled and completed a questionnaire concerning age, gender, and disease history. Students with eye diseases were excluded after a detailed eye examination. The refractive status was measured by non-cycloplegic objective refraction and ocular parameters were measured by Lenstar 900. The examination followed the same protocol each year. Trends over time in myopia and high myopia prevalence, as well as ocular biometry parameters, were analyzed.
resultsFrom 2016 to 2021, the axial length (AL) and corneal radius (CR) increased significantly (
conclusionThe prevalence of high myopia increases in young university adults during 10y period. Myopia control should begin earlier in childhood. However, these interventions are still needed for high myopia even in young adulthood.
