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

To evaluate the prevalence of high myopia in Chinese cataract surgery candidates and analyse their biometric characteristics, we conducted a 10-year retrospective consecutive case series of 17,325 cataract patients (22,479 eyes) classified by axial length (AL) into a high myopia group (defined as an AL ≥ 26.00 mm) and a non-high myopia group. A total of 2943 eyes (13.1%) had high myopia, with the highest prevalence of high myopia (41.2%) in patients aged 40-49 years. In the high myopia group, the mean age was 59.5 ± 12.6 years, younger than the non-high myopia group (68.9 ± 11.0 years, P < 0.001). The AL, corneal diameter, anterior chamber depth, and corneal astigmatism (CA) were all greater in the high myopia group than in the non-high myopia group (P < 0.001 for all). In the high myopia group, 12.7% of the eyes had flat corneas, and 67.4% of the eyes had moderate to high CA, which were higher than the proportions in the non-high myopia group (P < 0.001 for both). CA was positively correlated with age in the two groups (r = 0.165 and 0.274, respectively; P < 0.001 for both) after the age of 50. Fully understanding these characteristics may help inform public health guidelines and cataract surgery decisions for high myopia patients.
