UK Optometrists' Professional Learning Needs Toward Engaging with Myopia Control Interventions.

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: This study aimed to explore the support that UK optometrists feel they require to facilitate their engagement with myopia control intervention. Methods: A self-administered online survey was distributed via QualtricsXM to practising optometrists in the UK via email lists and newsletters of local optical committees, social media, and optometric networks. Questions focussed on learning styles, training needs and barriers to learning. Results: Fifty-five respondents completed the survey. Forty-eight respondents answered the question on where they get information about myopia control and learning style, 79.2% indicated that conferences offering Conclusion: Optometrists felt they need training in various aspects of myopia management, from practical skills to assessing and fitting/prescribing appropriate myopia control interventions. They were also interested in learning more on EBP and clinical decision-making related to myopia control. To improve the uptake of myopia control among optometrists, various learning methods, especially online learning, and providing sufficient time for training are crucial.
