Impact of uncorrected hyperopia on visual function and academic performance in preschool and school-age children.
Review in Optometry and vision science : official publication of the American Academy of Optometry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Many children with a moderate amount of farsightedness do not see as well up close as children who are not farsighted, and they often have significantly more problems with near visual function (near visual acuity, stereoacuity, and accommodation), early literacy skills, reading, and attention. Problems with early literacy skills often lead to difficulties with reading in first grade and beyond. Controversy exists among eye care providers regarding whether moderately hyperopic children have adequate visual function without correction or whether correction provides benefit. Furthermore, the effect of correction is unclear, and further research is needed to determine whether hyperopic correction allows farsighted children to overcome deficits in near visual function, early literacy, reading, and attention.
