Chinese parents' knowledge, attitude, and practice of myopia control: 2023 update.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundOur previous survey identified a lack of knowledge of myopia among Chinese parents. This research aims to update the characteristics of parents' knowledge, attitude, and practice in myopia control.
methodsA self-administered questionnaire was disseminated to parents of myopic children in 16 hospitals from 11 provinces in China. Comprehensive information regarding the knowledge, attitude, and practice in myopia of parents with myopic children was collected, with the underlying correlations being analyzed.
resultsA total of 1266 valid questionnaires were collected. The concern over children's visual problems arose significantly earlier among myopic parents (P < 0.001). Axial length was recorded by 29.9% (378/1266) of the participants. Parents' primary goal of myopia control was "retarding the progression of myopia" (64.8%, 821/1266). The effectiveness of behavioral intervention was ranked first by 68.4% (866/1266) of the participants. Single-vision spectacles were the most adopted correction practice (26.1%, 331/1266). In terms of myopic interventions, 23.5% (297/1266) of the parents chose myopic control spectacles, followed by orthokeratology (20.9%, 264/1266); 37.3% (189/507) of the participants believed that the latter was more effective. Most parents (69.8%, 883/1266) expressed satisfaction with the current efficacy of myopia control.
conclusionInsufficient awareness of myopia and myopia control was identified among parents of myopic children in China. Efforts should be made to enhance parents' knowledge, raise their awareness, and improve the accessibility and affordability of effective myopia control interventions.
