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

Axial myopia is characterized by excessive axial elongation, traditionally quantified by axial length (AL). However, AL conflates the eye's focal distance (adaptive to refractive power) with defocus distance (excessive axial elongation). In this study, we developed Myopic Strain, defined as the ratio of retinal defocus distance (ΔAL) to the eye's focal length, yielding a normalized metric for assessing axial myopia. In an analysis of 242 eyes, ΔAL and Myopic Strain were derived from Morgan's optometric model. Subsequently, the correlation between Myopic Strain and optical and biomechanical markers of myopia was analyzed. Finally, we analyzed the distinctive characteristics exhibited by Myopic Strain and the ratio of AL to corneal curvature radius (AL/CR) as AL increased. Results demonstrated that Myopic Strain showed significant correlations with optical and biomechanical markers of myopia-spherical equivalent refractive error (SER;
