1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe global prevalence of myopia is rising rapidly, with projections indicating that by 2050, half of the world's population will be affected. High myopia is associated with an increased risk of sight-threatening complications, contributing to a substantial public health burden. Atropine 0.01% has been widely used for myopia control in non-Asian populations, supported by evidence demonstrating its efficacy. Myopi-X

methodsThis retrospective observational study was conducted at Acıbadem Hospital, Ankara, between September 2022 and September 2023. A total of 128 patients aged 5 to 16 years with myopia were included and divided into three groups: peripheral progressive addition lenses (Myopi-X
