The Peripheral Defocus Designed Spectacle Lenses Might Increase Astigmatism in Myopic Children.
Article in Translational vision science & technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Purpose: This study aims to explore the impact of wearing peripheral defocus spectacle lenses (PDSL) on cylindrical refractive error (CYL) in myopic children. Methods: This study included 1057 myopic children and divided the participants into three groups: the HAL group (spectacle lens with highly aspherical lenslets), the MPV group (spectacle lens based on manipulating peripheral vision), and a control group (without myopia control interventions). The study analyzed the effect of wearing PDSL on changes in spherical equivalent refraction, CYL, and corneal astigmatism (CA). The mediating effect between changes in spherical refractive errors (SPH) and CYL was also investigated. Results: Compared to the control group (0.05 ± 0.33 D), the annual CYL progression was faster in the HAL group (-0.15 ± 0.33 D, P < 0.001) and the MPV group (-0.09 ± 0.27 D, P = 0.019). More children in the HAL group had an annual CYL progression ≥0.50 D (HAL: 23.6%, Control: 16.2%, P = 0.012). The annual CYL and CA progression were consistent within the PDSL groups (HAL: P = 0.677, MPV: P = 0.683). The total effect of CYL progression in the HAL group was primarily due to direct induction from wearing HAL and indirect induction through the SPH control effect. Conclusions: The application of PDSL could cause increase in astigmatism in myopic children, which could mainly be contributed to cornea astigmatism change. Translational Relevance: PDSL may passively affect the anterior ocular biomechanics during myopia control, leading to an increase in astigmatism.
