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

Purpose: To assess associations between objectively measured postural misalignments and refractive errors in Chinese adolescents. Methods: A school-based, cross-sectional study was conducted on 567 students aged 12-18 years. Participants underwent comprehensive eye examinations including cycloplegic autorefraction and axial length (AL) measurement and objective postural quantification using a photogrammetric system. Questionnaire-derived covariates for myopia risk factors were available for 258 participants. Multivariable logistic and linear regression models assessed associations between postural misalignments and refractive outcomes. Results: The study population (mean age: 14.96 ± 1.60 years; 43.4% male) exhibited a high prevalence of myopia (82.5%) and anisometropia (34.7%). In the primary multivariate analysis ( Conclusion: Asymmetrical postural misalignments have distinct associations with refractive errors. Head tilt and poor writing posture exhibit distinct associations with anisometropia. These findings highlight the potential value of postural assessment in myopia management.
