Health-related quality of life and its associated factors among high school students with myopia in China.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Chinese high school students with myopia and to investigate its potential associate factors.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in seven high schools across three representative regions in China. Students were invited to participate in an eye examination and complete an online survey. The HRQoL was measured by using the Child Health Utility Nine-Dimension (CHU-9D) and 25-items National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25). Sociodemographic characteristics and vision-related characteristics were also collected. Descriptive statistics were performed on respondents' characteristics and one-way analysis of variance was used to compare HRQoL among subgroups. Multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to identify contributing factors to HRQoL.
resultsA total of 2,198 students with myopia (53.1% male, age was 16.7 ± 0.8 years) were included in this study. The utility value of CHU-9D was 0.851 ± 0.160 (mean ± SD), the score of NEI-VFQ-25 was 91.112 ± 9.619. Higher NEI-VFQ-25 scores correspond with higher CHU-9D utility values. Regression analyses showed that the CHU-9D utility values were higher in younger students, males, those who adopted normal sitting position, those who spent more than 10 h outdoor-activities per week, and those who wore frame glasses. The NEI-VFQ-25 scores were higher in older students, females, those who adopted normal sitting position, and those who did not wear glasses.
conclusionsMyopia has a non-negligible impact on the HRQoL among Chinese high school students. Age, sex, sitting posture, time of outdoor-activities, and glasses type were deemed as the associated factors of HRQoL.
