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

This cross-sectional study involved 7514 pre-myopic male adolescents and examined the refraction and ocular biological parameters of these 15- to 19-year-old adolescents across various regions in China. By comparing the differences in these parameters among different geographic regions and age groups and analyzing the correlations between SER and ocular biological parameters, we found that there were slight variations in the refraction and ocular biological parameters of pre-myopic adolescents across different ages and regions. Specifically, SER was highest in the southern region and AL was lowest in the northern region. This study also revealed negative correlations between SER and variables such as the AL/CR, AL, ACD, PS and age. Notably, AL exhibited the most significant change in pre-myopic adolescents from 15 to 16 years old, followed by gradual stabilization. Other ocular biological parameters, including ACD, LT, and the AL/CR, showed significant changes after the age of 16. These results suggest that AL may be the earliest ocular biological parameter to indicate the onset of myopia, with changes in ACD, LT, and the AL/CR occurring approximately 1 year after changes in AL.
