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

Background: The myopia rate has increased rapidly worldwide, yet evidence regarding the association between dietary factors and myopia remains limited. This study assessed the association between dietary patterns and myopia among children and adolescents. Methods: This study used the Child and Adolescent Research of Eye data between August and October 2022. Myopia was defined based on uncorrected visual acuity and noncycloplegic refraction. Dietary assessment was parent-reported via a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Principal component analysis was used to extract dietary patterns. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between dietary patterns and myopia. Results: A total of 24,797 participants were included in the analysis. Controlling for confounders, the highest adherence to nuts-tubers vegetables pattern (characterized by high intake of nuts, tubers vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and aquatic products) was associated with a decreased risk of myopia compared with the lowest adherence (odds ratio [OR] = 0.933, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.872 to 0.999, Conclusions: These findings indicate a link between dietary patterns and myopia in children and adolescents. Dietary modification could be a potential public health measure for the primary prevention of childhood myopia.
