Sex Differences in Preferred Under-Correction of Contact Lenses and Their Potential Relevance to Presbyopia Management.
Article in Clinical optometry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine sex differences in preferred refraction for presbyopic correction in daily life, determined by the power of prescribed contact lenses. Patients and methods: Near add power and preferred contact lens power were examined in participants aged from 20 to 79 years who were divided into three age groups (20-39, 40-59, and 60-79 years). The difference (Δ) in lens power (preferred corrective power of contact lens - full correction power) was compared between both sexes in each age group. Regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between Δ lens power and ocular parameters. Results: A total of 768 men and 2314 women were enrolled in the study. Sex differences were prominent in the 40-59 year age group; namely Δ lens power was larger ( Conclusion: The current results revealed sex differences in the preferred power of contact lenses for presbyopic correction for optimal daily living. The magnitude of under-correction was significantly greater in women than men aged 40 to 59 years.
