Blue-Light Stimulation for Myopia Prevention: Only Retinal but Not Optic Disc Stimulation Modulates the Pattern ERG.

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
Blue-light stimulation of the optic disc has been suggested as a means of myopia prevention by activating dopaminergic amacrine cells via intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. This prospective, adequately powered study investigated this approach by examining its effects on pattern electroretinogram (PERG) N95 amplitude and choroidal thickness (ChT), established biomarkers associated with retinal ganglion cell function and myopia progression, respectively. Forty-six healthy adults received one minute of 450 nm blue-light stimulation to either the optic disc or central retina of the right eye, with the fellow left eye serving as control. PERG responses were measured before and 20 min after stimulation (N = 15 per stimulation location), while ChT, using swept-source optical coherence tomography images, was measured before, 20, and 60 min after stimulation (N = 8 per stimulation location). Only retinal stimulation significantly increased PERG N95 amplitude (baseline 16.16 µV, post-stimulation 17.61 µV [
