1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimTo comprehensively assess the relationship between asthma and myopia based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database combined with Mendelian randomization (MR).

methodsInitially, 20 497 subjects from the complete questionnaire cycle in the NHANES database from 2005 to 2008 were included. By exclusion criteria, 8460 subjects were screened with 1676 myopia samples and 6784 control samples. Subsequently, baseline characteristics, association analyses, risk stratification analyses, and receive operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used to investigate the associations between covariates and myopia. Then, the causal relationship was explored in depth by MR analysis, and was estimated the reliability by sensitivity analyses and directionality tests.

resultsBaseline characteristics illustrated a significant difference between myopia and controls for both asthma and covariates (excluding gender;

conclusionA significant association and causality between asthma and myopia is found through the NHANES database and MR analysis, which is important implications for public health policy development and clinical practice.
