Impact of multifocal soft contact lenses on the shape discrimination threshold under glare in myopic children.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Multifocal soft contact lenses (MFSCLs) are widely used to control myopia progression in children. However, their optical design may affect visual quality, especially under glare conditions, potentially influencing their daily visual performance. Purpose: To evaluate the impact of MFSCLs on shape discrimination threshold (SDT) under glare in myopic children by comparing changes in SDT under glare and non-glare conditions, with both MFSCLs and single vision spectacles. Methods: Thirty-seven myopic children (37 eyes) were enrolled and fitted with both MFSCLs and single vision spectacles for binocular myopia correction. Assessments included uncorrected and corrected visual acuity, corneal curvature, pupil diameter (PD) in a dark environment, and SDT with glare (SDTon) and without glare (SDToff). Measurements of the right eye were analyzed. SDTs were compared between lens types and lighting conditions, and correlations with ocular parameters were evaluated. Results: All participants achieved optimal MFSCL fit. No significant difference in SDTon or SDToff was observed between MFSCLs and spectacles ( Conclusion: MFSCLs did not significantly worsen SDTs under glare in myopic children compared to spectacles, suggesting they do not exacerbate disability under glare. These findings support the continued clinical use of MFSCLs for myopia management without compromising visual performance under glaring conditions.
