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

Purpose: To explore the validity and significance of the axial length/corneal radius (AL/CR) Ratio for myopia prediction in children of all ages. Methods: Between 2020 and 2022, 509,530 children and adolescents aged 3-18 years were sampled in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China, by whole-cluster sampling method. Measured their uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), non-cycloplegic autorefraction, axial length (AL), and corneal radius (CR), Pearson's correlation coefficient and Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to determine the accuracy and calculate the cutoff for myopia detection. Results: The correlation between AL/CR ratio and SE was higher than that between AL and SE at different ages and refractive states. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of myopia detection by AL/CR ratio (0.9112) was significantly larger than that of AL (0.8923, Conclusion: Different cutoff for AL/CR ratio can be used to predict myopia for children and adolescents of different ages and genders, and this method can be widely used for clinical diagnosis and mass myopia screening.
