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

purposeTo evaluate the myopic and hyperopic defocus delivered to the retina by a dual focus (DF) myopia control contact lens when myopia exceeds 6.00 D.

methodsIndividuals with high myopia were fitted bilaterally with high-powered DF lenses containing power profiles matching a Coopervision MiSight 1 day contact lens (omafilcon A) and a Coopervision Proclear 1 day single vision (SV) lens. Wavefront measurements along the primary line of sight and across the central ±20° of the horizontal retina were acquired using a pyramidal aberrometer, while subjects accommodated to high-contrast letter stimuli (6/12 equivalent) at six target vergences (-0.25 and -1.00 to -5.00 D). Linear mixed-effects regression models explored the relationship between the spherical equivalent refractive error (SERE) and induced defocus.

resultsThirteen teenagers and young adults (ages 13-32 years, mean [standard deviation, SD] age = 22.8 [4.9] years) with high myopia (SERE -6.50 to -9.25 D) were tested. The treatment optic zone of the DF lens shifted retinal defocus by the expected -2.00 D, with a mean (SD) difference (DF-SV) of -2.21 (0.18) D for the inner treatment ring. Inclusion of the treatment optic had no significant impact on accommodative accuracy (p = 0.51). Accommodative lags were larger at the nearer viewing distances, with lag increasing by approximately 0.30 D for every additional dioptre of SERE. Measured retinal defocus within the annular treatment zone was approximately -2.00 D at the foveal centre, 10° nasal and temporal and 20° nasal and reduced to -1.90 (0.57) D at 20° temporal.

conclusionsRelative to eyes with lower levels of myopia, the increased accommodative lags and more prolate retinas of highly myopic eyes reduced the myopic retinal defocus from the DF myopia control lens, while the treatment optical zones generated the combined effect of reducing hyperopic and introducing myopic retinal defocus relative to an SV correction.
