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

The purpose of this study was to establish the normative data of horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID), vertical visible iris diameter (VVID), and palpebral fissure height (PFH) in a cohort of South Indian children. The study included 1,234 children from six schools of different regions of Tamil Nadu state, India. HVID, VVID, and PFH were measured using a simple millimeter ruler by three optometrists. Based on their age, the children were divided into three groups: preprimary school children (4-5 years), primary school children (6-10 years), and high school children (11-15 years). Mean age was 4.49 ± 0.50 years, 8.00 ± 1.41 years, and 12.87 ± 1.42 years in the three groups, respectively. Mean HVID was 10.45 mm, 10.54 mm, and 10.73 mm, respectively. Mean VVID was 9.18 mm, 9.32 mm, and 9.57 mm, respectively. Similarly, mean PFH was 8.15 mm, 8.30 mm, and 8.52 mm, respectively. There was a significant difference in HVID, VVID, and PFH among the three age groups (
