Ocular Surface Health in Myopic School-Age Children: An Observational Study.

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
Objective: To examine the clinical characteristics of tear film and ocular surface parameters in schoolchildren with myopia. Methods: This prospective study included 224 myopic schoolchildren aged 7-14 years. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was administered, and tear volume was assessed using a strip meniscometry tube (SMTube) and Schirmer I test. An IDRA ocular surface analyzer (SBM Sistemi, Inc., Torino, Italy) measured the noninvasive first break time (NIBUTf), mean break time (NIBUTav), tear meniscus height (TMH), mean lipid layer thickness (LLTav), meibomian gland atrophy (MGA), blink frequency (BF), and blink quality (BQ). Differences in ocular surface parameters by sex, age, spherical equivalent (SE), and OSDI scores were analyzed. Results: Median values of ocular surface parameters were SMTube 6.0 mm, Schirmer I 17.0 mm, NIBUTf 7.4 s, NIBUTav 10.1 s, TMH 0.21 mm, LLTav 64 nm, superior MGA (Sup-MGA) 33%, inferior MGA (Inf-MGA) 21.5%, BF 4.1s, and BQ 100%. Significant differences in NIBUTf, NIBUTav, and LLTav were observed between the sexes ( Conclusion: Nearly one-fourth of myopic schoolchildren have dry eye symptoms, primarily due to the reduced tear volume. Age and sex significantly influenced tear film quality and quantity, while myopia severity showed no significant association.
