Predicting Cycloplegic Spherical Equivalent Refraction Among Children and Adolescents Using Non-cycloplegic Data and Machine Learning - China, 2020-2024.

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
Introduction: Cycloplegic refraction is the gold standard for assessing refractive error in children. However, logistical constraints hinder its implementation in large-scale surveys. Methods: Data obtained from a nationwide ocular health survey conducted in ten provincial-level administrative divisions in China were analyzed (2020-2024). Participants aged 5-18 years underwent standardized non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic autorefraction, axial length (AL), corneal radius (CR), and AL/CR measurements. Random forest and XGBoost models were trained to predict the cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE) using non-cycloplegic SE, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), and biometric parameters. Performance was evaluated using R Results: Both models exhibited strong predictive performance. In the test set, random forest achieved R Conclusion: Machine learning models incorporating noncycloplegic SE and ocular biometrics accurately estimate cycloplegic SE in children and adolescents, providing a practical alternative for large-scale refractive-error surveillance when cycloplegia is impractical.
