Effects of different orthokeratology lens designs on slowing axial length elongation in children with myopia.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
aimTo elucidate whether differences exist in the impact on retarding the elongation of axial length (AL) among children with myopia when utilizing orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses employing the corneal refractive therapy (CRT) design versus those employing the vision shaping treatment (VST) design.
methodsThis retrospective clinical trial aimed to collect and analyze AL data from individuals who wore ortho-k lenses for three years. A total of 654 subjects were enrolled and prescribed one of the three specific brands of ortho-k lenses: CRT, Euclid, and Mouldway. The study's primary focus was to compare the rates of AL elongation and myopic progression across these three brands of ortho-k lenses.
resultsIn the 3-year follow-up, the AL elongation exhibited variations of 0.73±0.36 mm in the CRT lens group, 0.59±0.37 mm in the Euclid lens group, and 0.63±0.38 mm in the Mouldway lens group. A noteworthy disparity emerged between the CRT and Mouldway groups (
conclusionOrtho-k lenses represent a pragmatic strategy for mitigating the advancement of myopia. In contradistinction to ortho-k lenses utilizing the CRT design, those employing the VST design exhibited a more favorable impact regarding retarding AL elongation.
