The Influence of Age on the Myopic Control Efficiency of Dual-Focus Contact Lens: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to survey the effectiveness of dual-focus contact lenses (DFCLs) in controlling myopia in children of different ages.
methodA retrospective cohort study was conducted, and individuals receiving DFCL treatment were included. Then, the study populations were classified according to age, comprising a total of 62 and 94 eyes in the young (younger than 12 years old) and old groups (older than 12 years old), respectively. The primary outcomes of our study were changes in spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and axial length (AXL). The independent t-test and generalized linear model were applied for the statistical analyses.
resultsThe baseline SERs were -2.55±0.71 diopter (D) and -2.69±0.77D in the young and old groups. At the one-year follow-up, the SERs were -2.87±0.83D and -2.83±0.85D in the young and old groups, and SER progression was significantly higher in the young group than the old group (p = 0.002). The initial AXLs were 24.69±0.44 mm and 24.75±0.50 mm in the young and old groups, respectively, and 24.83±0.52 mm and 24.85±0.55 mm at the final visit. The AXL elongation was significantly higher in the young group compared to the old group (p < 0.001). The high near-work activity was associated with higher SER and AXL changes in both groups (both p < 0.05), and the high outdoor activity was associated with lower SER and AXL changes in both groups (both p < 0.05).
conclusionsOld age correlates with better myopic control regarding SER and AXL changes for DFCL users.
