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

aimTo investigate the prevalence and characteristics of myopia in school-aged students and effects of environmental and genetic factors on the progression of myopia.

methodsA total of 2422 students aged between 5 and 18y from nine schools in Baiyun District of Guangzhou, China were sampled using a stratified sampling method in 2020. Among them, 1066 students participated in the follow-up survey the following year. Data were obtained based on ocular examinations and a questionnaire survey conducted during two visits. Factors potentially influencing the progression of myopia were analyzed.

resultsDuring the year assessed in this study, the percentage of students with myopia increased from 58.4% to 64.8% (

conclusionOur findings in this study indicate that age, residential students, parental myopia, indoor lighting environment, and physical activity have significant effects on the progression of myopia, providing evidence for further in-depth mechanistic interpretation and efficient intervention strategies for school-age children in this area.
