Improving children's visual health by integrating motor imagery training into physical education classes.

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
Introduction: Myopia threatens healthy physical and mental development in children. Research suggests that motor imagery training could serve as a non-invasive and cost-effective non-pharmacological intervention to address myopia and promote health. Therefore, this study examined the effect of incorporating motor imagery training into physical education classes on children's visual health. Methods: A 16-week intervention was conducted. The participants were 154 children divided into four groups: three experimental and one control. Group 1 performed motor imagery exercises with a visual target moving near and far, Group 2 performed physical activity imagery exercises combined with visual tasks, and Group 3 performed physical activity combined with visual tasks. Results: After the intervention, kinetic visual acuity ( Conclusion: Incorporating motor imagery training into physical education classes can improve children's visual health by enhancing cognitive and visual skills. The findings of this study may help develop interventions to prevent myopia through activation of ciliary muscles.
