Association between axial elongation and corneal power distribution changes induced by aspheric orthokeratology lenses.

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
purposeThis study investigated how aspheric lens design changes the corneal power distribution and how such changes are associated with the axial elongation in myopic children who underwent orthokeratology.
methodsThis retrospective study of 116 eyes from children aged 8-13 years were enrolled and fitted with three types of lenses: fully spherical lenses (Alpha, n = 45), those with an aspheric alignment curve (AC) and a spherical base curve (BC) (Dreamlite, n = 37), and lenses with a partly aspheric BC and an aspheric AC (Myok, n = 34). Axial lengths were measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Corneal topography maps obtained at baseline and after 1 month of lens wear were analyzed with Fourier decomposition: the F0 (spherical), F1 (asymmetry), F2 (regular astigmatism), and F3 (higher-order irregularity) components were extracted and quantified across ten concentric rings with 0.5 mm width.
resultsThe 1-year axial elongation was 0.26 ± 0.21 mm, 0.16 ± 0.19 mm, and 0.10 ± 0.19 mm for the Alpha, Dreamlite, and Myok groups, respectively (P < 0.001). In the 1-month maps, F0 and F1 peaked at the mid-periphery, and declined peripherally. Dreamlite exhibited F0 values greater than those of Alpha (mean difference: 0.02-0.46 D) within the central 2 mm (P < 0.01) and lower than Myok's values (mean difference: 0.66-1.05 D) in the peripheral 3 to 4.5 mm (P < 0.01). Dreamlite also displayed greater F1 compared to Alpha (mean difference: 0.68-0.78 D) within the 1 to 2 mm rings (P < 0.01) but showed no significant difference from Myok. F2 and F3 remained flat and small. Three components, F0, F1, and F3, were negatively associated with axial elongation in these children (P < 0.001).
conclusionLenses featuring an aspheric AC resulted in reduced axial elongation and increased spherical power and asymmetry in the central cornea, while lenses with a partly aspherical BC improved spherical power in the mid-periphery. A smaller axial elongation was associated with greater post treatment central cornea asymmetry.
