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

Purpose: To describe the prevalence, clinical characteristics, associations, and visual outcomes of myopic traction maculopathy (MTM), which was defined by the presence of retinoschisis (RS), macular holes (MHs), or foveal retinal detachment (RD), in an adult high myope cohort in Changsha, China. Design: A cross-sectional study. Participants: Chinese adults with high myopia (defined as spherical equivalent [SE] less than or equal to -5 diopters [D]) in the Aier-Singapore Eye Research Institute High Myopia Adult Cohort Study, which is a prospective population-based study. Methods: Swept-source OCT was performed to detect RS, MH, and foveal RD. Multivariable generalized estimating equation analyses were performed to assess associations of MTM and the impact of MTM on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Main Outcome Measures: Prevalence, clinical characteristics, associations, and visual outcomes of MTM. Results: Of 437 participants (839 eyes), MTM was observed in 20 participants with a prevalence of 4.6% (by participants) or in 24 eyes (with a prevalence of 2.9%; by eyes). Overall, the whole cohort (64.7% female) had a mean age of 42.9 ± 7.2 years, an SE of -9.5 ± 4.4 D, and an axial length (AL) of 27.3 ± 1.9 mm. Retinoschisis was the most common lesion (91.7%; 22/24 eyes with MTM). In the multivariable analysis, the prevalence of MTM was associated with a more myopic SE (odds ratio [OR]: 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.18; Conclusions: The prevalence of MTM was 4.6% in an adult high myope cohort. Associations with MTM include more myopic SE, longer AL, MMD, and older age. Myopic traction maculopathy is associated with poorer vision.
