Distribution of and factors associated with intraocular pressure in school-age Chinese children: findings from a large-scale longitudinal 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
objectivesTo report distribution, change trend of intraocular pressure (IOP) and its association with related influencing factors in school-age Chinese children.
methodsThis retrospective study performed non-contact tonometry, manifest refraction, and ocular biometry in 12,914 participants (25,823 eyes). Univariable and multivariable models assessed the association between the baseline IOP and other baseline parameters, particularly refractive error and axial length (AL). Mixed-effects models evaluated IOP changes with age.
resultsAverage IOPs of groups aged ≤6 years, 7-9 years, 10-12 years, and >12 years were 14.94 ± 3.13, 15.31 ± 2.93, 15.57 ± 2.85, and 16.12 ± 2.85 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.001). A higher IOP was associated with thicker central-corneal thickness (CCT, standardised-regression coefficient (SRC): 0.28, P < 0.001), female gender (SRC: 0.18, P < 0.001), longer AL (SRC: 0.08, P < 0.001), deeper anterior chamber (SRC: 0.06, P < 0.001), higher mean-keratometry reading (SRC: 0.04, P < 0.001), higher spherical equivalent (SRC: 0.04, P = 0.002), higher body-mass-index (SRC: 0.03, P < 0.001), higher age (SRC: 0.02, P = 0.02), and smaller White-to-White (SRC: -0.03, P < 0.001). CCT and sex most significantly influenced IOP. There was no significant within-subject change in IOP between baseline and 3-year follow-up (P = 1.00). In children aged <10 years (P = 0.02) but not older (P = 0.19), a higher baseline IOP correlated with greater myopic refraction. The baseline IOP was positively associated with AL (P < 0.001). The linear regression coefficient decreased with age.
conclusionsCCT and sex most significantly influenced IOP in school-age Chinese children. No significant trend in IOP change corresponding to age increase was found. The association between IOP and myopia or AL became progressively less positive with age.
