Key strategies to reduce the global burden of myopia: consensus from the international myopia summit.
Review in The British journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
In this paper, we describe key strategies to guide global collaborative efforts to further reduce the burden of myopia and myopia-related visual impairment. A modified Delphi method was applied as an iterative multistage process to collect expert and stakeholders' opinions and extract consensus strategies regarding myopia diagnosis, prevention and control. Anonymous pre-meeting preparation rounds, structured discussions for prioritisation and the development of key consensus areas were performed. Consensus was reached on three key areas to collaborate and complement existing frameworks: (1) Myopia defined not only as a refractive error but also as a disease with phenotypic features allowing for risk stratification of significant visual impairment. (2) In addition to preventive strategies, a focus is needed on preventing progression to high myopia (HM). (3) A focus on preventing and treating pathologic myopia (PM), that is, end-stage of myopia disease with irreversible visual impairment. In conclusion, the workgroup suggests a global, collaborative strategy that is needed across public health, healthcare and advocacy sectors to support efforts in reducing visual impairment from myopia. Complementary to existing preventive public health efforts, additional focus on defining myopia as a disease with risk stratification for visual impairment and an emphasis on reducing visual impairment associated with HM and PM should be considered.
