Elevated Ocular and Visual Disorder Risk in Developmental Disabilities: Insights from Cross-Sectional Study and Mendelian Randomization Analysis.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The visual health of children diagnosed with developmental disabilities has received limited attention, partly due to the intricate nature of their conditions. This study aims to clarify the associations between developmental disabilities and ocular disorders, exploring both correlations and potential causal relationships, to emphasize the importance of providing focused ocular attention for these children. This 3-year cross-sectional study included 13,889 students (309 with developmental disorders). Refractive errors were compared between those with and without developmental disorders. Mendelian randomization established genetic causal links between developmental and visual disorders. GWAS of brain MRI data identified shared regions influencing both conditions. Developmental disabilities were significantly associated with higher prevalence (OR 1.846, 95% CI 1.418-2.404, p < 0.001) and severity (OR 3.137, 95% CI 2.399-4.103, p < 0.001) of astigmatism. An in-depth analysis of genetic factors consistently emphasizes cognitive, perceptual, emotional, and behavioral disparities, as substantial determinant for the risk of astigmatism (OR 1.057, 95% CI 1.019 to 1.096, p = 0.003). Furthermore, an array of developmental disorders emerges as contributory elements to the development of cataracts, retinal diseases, and glaucoma. Importantly, the TBSS L2 retrolenticular part of the internal capsule and SWI T2 star caudate concomitantly correlates with both developmental disabilities and ocular pathologies. Children with developmental disabilities have a higher risk of developing ocular conditions. Early and comprehensive ophthalmological assessment by a multidisciplinary team is essential to promote optimal visual outcomes and quality of life for these children.
