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
This article analyses a public health promotion advertisement on juvenile myopia issues, which stands out as one of the most widely viewed among those addressing juvenile myopia prevention released by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHC) on bilibili, a prominent video-sharing platform in China. The article discusses how a designed public health discourse on juvenile myopia issues is constructed through various techniques and what ideologies can be reflected through this discourse. Employing a multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA) approach based on the three-dimensional discourse framework, this article underscores how the advertisement intricately employs diverse semiotic resources to craft its discursive script. Notably, through designed narrative genres, characters, scenes, and settings, the ad strategically amplifies the role of adult parents as pivotal agents in preventing juvenile myopia, thus legitimizing their primary responsibility. However, this emphasis on parental responsibility subtly obscures the influence exerted by other societal actors and social factors in the myopia prevention landscape. Through this nuanced analysis, the study sheds light on the attempt of public policy discourse hidden in the advertisement to shape perceptions and attitudes toward myopia prevention, underscoring its underlying intention to advance the tenets of neoliberal biopedagogy.
