Prevalence of myopia and refractive parameters among children and adolescents in Hi-tech District of Chengdu City.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To analyze the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents in Chengdu from 2021 to 2023, providing insights for myopia prevention and control. Methods: This study was a school-based cross-sectional study in children and adolescents aged 3-18 years in Hi-tech District of Chengdu City. All the students underwent comprehensive ocular measurement, including uncorrected binocular visual acuity (VA), spherical equivalent error (SER) with noncycloplegic autorefraction, corneal radius (CR), and axial length (AL). Results: Over the three-year study period from 2021 to 2023, the overall prevalence of myopia was 38.15%, with annual rates of 38.74% in 2021, 38.67% in 2022, and 37.03% in 2023. The prevalence and severity of myopia increased significantly with age ( Conclusion: Myopic prevalence among children and adolescents in Hi-tech District of Chengdu City decreased from 2021 to 2023. The prevalence increased with age and school level, indicating a need for targeted interventions. Significant changes in spherical equivalent refraction and AL emphasize the importance of early intervention and regular monitoring of myopia for an effective management.
