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
purposeTo evaluate the correlation and independent associations between ocular biometric parameters and central corneal thickness with the severity of myopia in children. Methods: This multicentric retrospective cross-sectional study included children ≤18 years of age with simple axial myopia or compound myopic astigmatism. Ocular biometry was performed using an optical biometer (IOL master, Zeiss). The data collected was age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), cycloplegic refraction (Spherical Equivalent, SE), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), corneal power (K), central corneal thickness (CCT), and AL/Corneal curvature (CR) ratio. The various demographic and biometric parameters were compared between the myopia categories [low (≥-3.00 D), moderate (-3.25 to ≥-6.00D), and severe (<-6D)]. Results: A total of 1095 children (2174 eyes), 579 males and 516 females, were included. Out of 1095, 16 patients had one eye myopic while the other was emmetropic. The mean age was 11.61 ± 3.73 years. Low, moderate, and severe myopia was observed in 35.53%, 29.13%, and 35.34% of children with a mean SE of -1.93±0.71, -4.35±0.84, and -10.22±3.70, respectively. The severe myopia group showed the lowest mean values for age, height, weight, BMI, and the poorest mean BCVA (p < 0.001). Axial length demonstrated a strong association with SE, with increasing AL corresponding to higher degrees of myopia (estimate = -2.53, p < 0.001). Steeper mean keratometry (estimate = -1.01, p < 0.001), reduced ACD (estimate = 2.73, p < 0.001), and greater LT (estimate = -1.63, p = 0.001) were also significantly associated with more severe myopia. In contrast, CCT did not show an independent association with SE (p = 0.743). Among demographic variables, height showed a modest but significant relationship, with taller children associated with slightly lower degrees of myopia (estimate = 3.70, p < 0.001). Parental myopia and other covariates did not retain statistical significance after multivariable adjustment.
conclusionIn this large multicentric cohort of Indian children, ocular biometric parameters, particularly AL, CR, ACD, and LT were independently associated with the severity of myopia. The CCT showed no significant relationship. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive ocular biometric profiling beyond SE alone for understanding myopia severity. Population-specific biometric data may aid in improved risk stratification and individualised myopia management.
