Genetic associations of corneal astigmatism in Hong Kong Chinese children.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study aims to investigate the associations of multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the risk and magnitude of corneal astigmatism (CA) in children. A total of 14 SNPs were genotyped in 2167 Chinese children aged 4–11 years, recruited from the Hong Kong Children Eye Study. The main outcomes were allelic associations with the risk of significant CA (≥ 1.0D) and magnitude of CA. Allelic associations with the risk of significant CA and magnitude of CA, respectively, were evaluated in additive model through age- and sex-adjusted logistic and linear regression. Subgroup analysis included sex-stratified analysis and linear trend test across age. FMNL2 rs1579050 was associated with the magnitude of CA (β = 0.158D, Pc = 0.045), and with the magnitude of CA (β = 0.301D, Pc = 0.02) in age quartile 4 in the age subgroup analysis. PDGFRA rs17084051 (P = 0.04) and ZC3H11B rs7525202 (P = 0.01) were associated with linear decrease in CA magnitude across age (P < 0.05 considered statistically significant). This study revealed FMNL2, PDGFRA and ZC3H11B as potential genetic factors for corneal astigmatism among Chinese children, with age-specific effects. Further validation of the findings in large cohorts should be warranted.
