1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We investigated the two-year safety and efficacy of 0.1% loading dose and 0.01% low-dose atropine eye drops in Danish children for reduction in myopia progression in an investigator-initiated, placebo-controlled, double-masked, randomized clinical trial. Ninety-seven six- to twelve-year old myopic participants were randomized to 0.1% loading dose for six months and then 0.01% for eighteen months (loading dose group, N = 33), 0.01% for two years (0.01% group, N = 32) or placebo for two years (placebo, N = 32). Axial length (AL) and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) were primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes included adverse events and reactions, choroidal thickness, and other ocular biometrical measures. Outcomes were measured from baseline and at six-month intervals. Individual eyes nested by participant ID were analyzed with linear-mixed model analysis. Data were analyzed with intention-to-treat. Mean AL was 0.08 mm less (95% confidence interval (CI): -0.01; 0.17,
