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 study aims to investigate associations between omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and myopia. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted to estimate the associations between plasma levels of omega-3 PUFAs and three traits of myopia, including myopia, high myopia (HM), and refractive spherical equivalent (RSE). Summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) and colocalization analysis were conducted to examine the associations between the FADS1 and FADS2 genes and three traits of myopia in European populations. The cross-sectional study based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was performed to explore the relationship in East Asian adolescents. In the Two-sample MR study, plasma levels of total omega-3 PUFAs (0.993[0.990, 0.996]), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (0.992[0.989, 0.996]), and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) (0.969[0.955, 0.983]) were found to be significantly and inversely associated with myopia in European populations, and similar results were shown in HM and RSE.
