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 analyze the incidence and progression rates of myopia among children aged 6-8 years in Chengdu, and to evaluate the influence of baseline parameters and dynamic changes in ocular biometric parameters on new-onset myopia risk. A total of 26,169 students aged 6-8 years from eight administrative districts in Chengdu were followed annually for 4 years. All students underwent uncorrected distance visual acuity testing, non-cycloplegic autorefraction, and ocular biometric parameters. Potential risk factors for myopia onset were screened through multivariate logistic regression analysis. The influence of each factor was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC). Results showed that the baseline prevalence of myopia was 17.8%. The cumulative incidence rates of myopia were 8.1-13.4% (2nd year), 8.6-12.2% (3rd year), and 11.5-16.2% (4th year) across different age groups, with higher rates in older children and females. The mean myopia progression rate was - 0.45 ± 0.32 D/year in the persistent myopia (PM) group. The annual growth rates of axial length(AL) and axial length/corneal radius (AL/CR) ratio in both the new-onset myopia (NOM) group and PM group were higher than those in the persistent non-myopia (PNM) group. The NOM showed significantly higher annual reduction rates in lens thickness and lens power(LP), and higher annual increase rate in anterior chamber depth compared to both PNM and PM. Both baseline parameters (e.g., AL, LP) and their changes 1-3 years before myopia onset significantly influenced the risk of myopia onset (all P < 0.001). The model combining baseline values and annual changes demonstrated good performance with cross-validated AUC values of 0.853. The study demonstrates that baseline values and changes 1-3 years before myopia onset in ocular biometric parameters have important influence on myopia onset, suggesting their incorporation into comprehensive myopia prevention and control systems for children.
