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
introductionThis study investigated the effects of the short and long-term wearing of spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) on visual field sensitivity in children with myopia.
methodsThis prospective case‒control study included 80 children with myopia aged 13–18 years, whose spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) ranged from ﹣1.00 D to -7.25 D. Forty children wore single vision lenses (SVL) habitually, while the remaining 40 children had been wearing HAL lenses for five years. Static visual field sensitivity was assessed using automatic static perimetry (Goldman III target) involving 76 white light points within a 30° radius visual field. After a practice round without the test lenses, measurements were taken while the participants wore either test HAL lenses or SVL in a randomized order. All assessments were conducted on the right eye while the left eye was occluded.
resultsStatistical analysis using generalized estimating equations (GEEs) revealed no significant main effects of group (p = 0.17) or lens (p = 0.52), nor significant interaction effect between these factors (p = 0.81). When the test SVL were used, the difference in mean sensitivity between the HAL and SVL groups (HAL group minus SVL group) was 0.7 ± 1.19 dB (ranging from ﹣ 2.5 dB to 4.8 dB). When the test HAL lenses were used, a mean difference of 0.7 ± 0.91 dB (ranging from ﹣ 0.6 dB to 3.3 dB) was observed between the two groups. Visual field reliability parameters (fixation, false-positive, and false-negative error ratios) were similar between conditions (all p > 0.05).
conclusionNeither short nor long-term wearing of spectacles with HAL affected full-field static visual field sensitivity within the 30° radius visual field in children with myopia aged 13 to 18 years, supporting their safety profile in controlling myopia.
