1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: To evaluate the efficacy of Spot vision screening combined with axial length measurement for early identification of myopia risk in Chinese Young children. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 210 children aged 3-8 years, classified into a Myopia Risk Group [cycloplegic spherical equivalent, cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE) ≤ +0.75 D] and a Sufficient Hyperopia Reserve Group (SE > +0.75 D). All participants underwent comprehensive examinations including axial length, anterior chamber depth (ACD), Spot vision screening, auto-refraction, and cycloplegic refraction. Results: The Myopia Risk Group was significantly older and had a higher prevalence of parental myopia history. They also exhibited significantly longer axial length, deeper ACD, higher intraocular pressure, and higher best-corrected visual acuity. Refractive measurements from both the Spot screener and auto-refractor showed significantly lower spherical power, cylindrical power, and spherical equivalent values in the Myopia Risk Group (all Conclusion: The combination of Spot vision screening and axial length measurement effectively identifies young children at risk for myopia, supporting its use in early screening programs.
