Evaluation of the association between myopia and ocular biometric parameters by scheimpflug technology in Saudi Arabia.
Observational study in International ophthalmology, 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the anterior segment parameters and axial length (AXL) in myopic Saudi adults, using Pentacam AXL. STUDY
designThis study was a non-randomized, cross-sectional, observational, and quantitative study. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThe study included 98 myopic eyes (from only right eyes) of 98 healthy Saudi females aged 19 to 30 years. Each subject underwent autorefraction without cycloplegia. Subjective refraction with fogging was conducted to relax accommodation. Maximum and minimum keratometry, anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal horizontal diameter, central corneal thickness, corneal asphericity (Q), and AXL were measured using the Pentacam AXL® single rotation Scheimpflug camera.
resultsA strong correlation was observed between SE and AXL (r = 0.565, p < 0.001), indicating that longer AXL was associated with more myopic SE. Additionally, AXL showed a moderate negative correlation with a patient's age at the onset of myopia (r = - 0.290 & p = .004). However, AXL showed no significant correlation with the patients' age, mean keratometry, maximum keratometry, minimum keratometry, or corneal horizontal diameter, ACD, central corneal thickness, and Q.
conclusionThis study provided valuable insights into the complex interplay between multiple variables that contribute to myopia progression. This understanding is crucial for early detection, tracking of progression, and treatment of this condition.
