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

Current red-light therapy devices lack control over light distribution on the retina, limiting their evaluation and use while presenting potential risks. We designed a scleral lens embedding 625 nm LEDs strategically placed to provide wide-angle retinal illumination while leaving the pupil free. Two configurations were tested: one with a metalized inner part to reflect light from the LEDs towards the retina and another with guiding micro-optics for better efficiency. Experimental irradiance maps obtained with both configurations demonstrate retinal illumination over 130°. We also discuss how this design could meet ophthalmologic standards and improve red-light therapy for myopia control.
