Prevalence and associated factors of myopia and axial length-related visual impairment in children and adolescents aged 4-18 years.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The prevalence of visual impairment (VI) increases with axial length (AL) and spherical equivalent (SE). This study aims to explore the prevalence and associated factors of myopia and AL-related VI in children and adolescents, including analysis of sex-specific differences. This cross-sectional survey included 2595 children and adolescents aged 4-18 years from nine educational institutions in a large municipality. The survey comprised a questionnaire, visual acuity examination, refractive screening and AL measurement. The prevalence of myopia and AL-related VI were 56.53% and 50.98% respectively and increased with age (P < 0.01). The myopia rate was higher in females than in males (60.23% vs. 52.71%, χ
