Retinal curvature in Chinese children with myopia measured by ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography.

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
aimsTo quantitatively measure retinal curvature (RC) in children with myopia and explore its association with refractive status.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included participants aged 5-18 years who underwent comprehensive ocular examinations, including cycloplegic refraction and macula 24×20 mm optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. RC was derived from OCT data using a three-dimensional reconstruction system. Mean RC was assessed in concentric circles (RC I-VI) with diameters of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 mm around the fovea, as well as in four orientations (RC S/I/N/T).
resultsA total of 443 eyes were included in the analysis. The values from RC I to RC VI were 0.51±0.19, 0.53±0.19, 0.62±0.19, 0.76±0.23, 0.86±0.23 and 0.81±0.18 10
conclusionRC can quantitatively characterise retinal shape and the morphological changes induced by myopia. Myopia progression results in a bulging macular retina accompanied by a flattening peripheral retina in children, and also increases the irregularity among the four quadrants. Age, AL and SFCT are associated factors of RC.
