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

Objectives: To investigate ocular parameters associated with axial length (AL) growth in children wearing orthokeratology lens during 2 years of follow-up. Methods: This is a retrospective study. Medical records of 46 patients who underwent orthokeratology treatment for 2 years were reviewed. Baseline variables included age at initiation of orthokeratology wear, spherical equivalent (SE), central corneal thickness (CCT), and the flat and steep keratometry of corneal principal meridians. The changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD) and crystalline lens thickness (CLT) were also analyzed. The contributions of all variables to the AL elongation were assessed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Result: CLT and AL significantly increased after 2 years of orthokeratology wear compared with baseline (both Conclusion: CLT was significantly increased in the first year and keep stable in the second year in children with orthokeratology wearing. Greater baseline SE and more increase in CLT were associated with less elongation in AL during orthokeratology wear.
