Comparing the effects of orthokeratology lenses and highly aspherical lenslets on axial length in myopic anisometropia.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis study compares the influences of orthokeratology (OK) lenses and highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) on axial length (AL) in myopic anisometropia.
methodsRetrospective analysis was performed on 225 individuals with myopic anisometropia who agreed to wear OK lenses, HAL or single-vision spectacles (SP). Subjects with bilateral myopic anisometropia (BMA) were divided into the following groups: SP-BMA, HAL-BMA and OK-BMA. Further, children with unilateral myopic anisometropia (UMA) were divided into the following groups: SP-UMA, UHAL-UMA (unilateral HAL), BHAL-UMA (bilateral HAL) and OK-UMA (unilateral OK lens). Analyzed the difference in the interocular AL elongation in different groups.
resultsFor children with BMA, the interocular difference change in the OK-BMA group (0.15 ± 0.19 mm) was greater than that in the SP-BMA (-0.01 ± 0.20 mm) and HAL-BMA (-0.03 ± 0.17 mm) groups, all P < 0.001. For children with UMA, in the non-myopic eyes, the difference in AL elongation in the BHAL-UMA group (0.10 ± 0.14 mm) was less than that in the SP-UMA (0.28 ± 0.22 mm), UHAL-UMA (0.40 ± 0.22 mm) and OK-UMA (0.47 ± 0.24 mm) groups, all P < 0.001. The interocular change in the UHAL-UMA group (0.29 ± 0.36 mm) and OK-UMA group (0.35 ± 0.25 mm) were all higher than that in the SP-UMA (-0.02 ± 0.23 mm) and BHAL-UMA (0.01 ± 0.18 mm) groups, all P < 0.01.
conclusionsOK lenses can effectively reduce the interocular AL difference for children with unilateral or bilateral myopic anisometropia. However, HAL only decreased the interocular AL difference for children with UMA when wearing unilateral HAL but it did slow down the AL elongation of the non-myopic eyes in children with UMA when wearing bilateral HAL.
