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

purposeTo determine how accommodation affects lens shape in myopic and non-myopic children.

methodsParticipants included 76 non-myopic (spherical equivalent refraction (SER): 0.00 to +1.75 D) and 18 myopic children (SER = -3.50 to -0.75 D) aged 5-12 years. Anterior and posterior lens surface shapes were determined by image processing and ray tracing of IOLMaster 700-generated B-scan images (six meridians per scan) at 0, 3, 6 and 9 D accommodation demands, expressed as refractive power vectors (M, J

resultsFor all children, anterior and posterior lens surface M and total lens power increased by means (±SD) of +0.45 ± 0.17, +0.23 ± 0.20 and +0.65 ± 0.32 D per dioptre of accommodation demand, respectively, with a shift towards a more equiconvex shape with increasing accommodation. J

conclusionMyopic children have flatter lens surfaces than non-myopic children. Lens surface shape changes with accommodation are similar between myopic and non-myopic children.
