Efficacy of repeated low-level red-light therapy combined with optical lenses for myopia control in children and adolescents.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the efficacy of repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy combined with optical lenses in children and adolescents with myopia.
methodsThis retrospective study included 108 children and adolescents. Based on the difference in the combination intervention scheme participants were divided into four groups based on the intervention they received: the RLRL+orthokeratology (OK) lens intervention group (RLRL+OK group), the RLRL+defocus distributed multi-point (DDM) lens intervention group (RLRL+DDM group), the RLRL+single-vision spectacles (SVS) intervention group (RLRL+SVS group), and a control group. Visual acuity, spherical equivalent refraction (SER), and axial length (AL) were measured before and after the intervention. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing vision recovery.
resultsThe SER and AL at baseline were statistically different (
conclusionRLRL therapy combined with optical lenses is effective in controlling myopia progression in children and adolescents.
