Effect of spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets on changes in peripheral eye length and asymmetry.
Article in Ophthalmic & physiological optics : the journal of the British College of Ophthalmic Opticians (Optometrists), 2025. 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
purposeSpectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) have been shown to slow myopia progression and axial length (AL) elongation effectively. The effects of HAL on peripheral eye length (PEL) and peripheral refraction (PR) were investigated in children who continued wearing HAL or switched from single-vision spectacle lenses (SVL) or spectacle lenses with slightly aspherical lenslets (SAL) to HAL.
methodsFifty-two participants who had worn HAL for 2 years continued their use (HAL group), while 51 and 48 participants who had originally worn SAL or SVL for 2 years switched to HAL (SAL-HAL and SVL-HAL groups, respectively) in Year 3. A new SVL group of 56 participants, 10-15 years of age, was enrolled in Year 3 (new-SVL group). PEL and PR were measured every 10° from 30° nasal to 30° temporal and from 30° superior to 10° inferior retina.
resultsThere were significant differences in the changes in AL and PEL on the temporal side among the groups (all p ≤ 0.001). All three HAL groups exhibited less elongation than the new-SVL group. PR changes in the parafoveal temporal (p = 0.002) and superior (p = 0.001) regions differed among the groups; the new-SVL group progressed more than the other three groups. The AL in the new-SVL group exhibited greater elongation than the PEL (all p < 0.02). However, there were no significant differences between the AL and PEL changes in the three HAL groups (all p > 0.05).
conclusionsCompared with wearing SVL, switching to or continuing to wear HAL could slow central and temporal elongation of eye length. Wearing HAL could impact retinal steepness and symmetry.
