The influence of orthokeratology on peripheral refraction during accommodation.

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
significanceThe change in peripheral refraction from hyperopic to myopic defocus following orthokeratology (OK) has been recognized as a main factor in myopia control. However, the impact of OK lenses on peripheral refraction at nearpoints in myopic eyes still requires further investigation. PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate changes in peripheral refraction during accommodation in myopic adults after orthokeratology (OK) wear.
methodsTwenty-four selected myopic adults (mean spherical equivalent: -2.70 ± 1.04 D) participated in this study. Peripheral refractions were measured by an auto-refractor with targets located at 25 cm and 50 cm from the eye. Measurements were performed across ± 30º of the horizontal field in 5º steps from the visual axis of subject's right eye before and after wearing the OK lens. The statistical package SPSS was used to analyze the data to determine the relationship between peripheral refractions and accommodation.
resultsAfter wearing the OK lens, the peripheral refraction became more myopic with increasing eccentricity during accommodation (t > 2.80, p < 0.01, N30º, N25º, N20º, T15º, T20º, T25º and T30º, for 25 cm and 50 cm). While relative hyperopic reflective errors were observed in the central (accommodative lag) and near peripheral (= < 15 º) retinal fields (t < -2.5, p < 0.02, for 0º, N5º, N10º, N15º and T10º for 25 cm and 50 cm), relative myopic refractive errors were evident in the farther periphery (> 15 º). (for 25 cm, -0.45 ± 1.18, -0.71 ± 1.47, -1.00 ± 1.31 and -1.70 ± 2.16D, for N30º, T20º, T25º, and T30º; for 50 cm, -0.76 ± 1.28, -0.84 ± 1.05; -1.17 ± 1.30 and -2.15 ± 1.81D, for N30º, T20º, T25º, and T30º; t > 2.5, P < 0.02).
conclusionThe myopic shift of peripheral refraction from the OK lens was partly counteracted by an insufficient change in refractive power of the eye during accommodation. Even though the refractive errors become relative hyperopic in the central and near peripheral retinal fields, relative myopic refraction was still maintained in the farther periphery for the accommodated myopic eyes treated with OK lenses.
