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

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of reduced visual acuity (VA) among school-aged children in Wuqia County, western China. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 9,094 primary and junior middle school students in Wuqia County underwent vision screening in November 2024. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was measured using a LogMAR tumbling E chart, with reduced VA was defined as UCVA < 20/30 in either eye. We also analyzed associations between reduced VA and factors such as gender, grade level, and residential area (urban vs. rural). Results: The overall prevalence of reduced VA among school-aged children in Wuqia County was 21.52% (1,957/9,094). The prevalence of reduced VA was significantly higher in female children (26.62%, 1,151/4,324) than in males (16.90%, 806/4,770) ( Conclusion: This study revealed a significant burden of reduced VA among school-aged children in Wuqia County. The findings provide valuable insights for developing targeted interventions and public health policies aimed at improving eye care services in the high-altitude regions of western China.
