Associations between blood cell profiles and low-to-medium myopia in school-aged children: a case-control study.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This prospective case-control study aimed to assess the relationships between blood count-derived inflammation indices and low-to-medium myopia in school-aged children. A total of 100 subjects aged 7–12 years were enrolled, including 49 emmetropic controls and 51 children with low-to-medium myopia (spherical equivalent ≤ -0.5 D and > -6.0 D). Various blood count parameters were assessed, including white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, eosinophil count, basophil count, neutrophil percentage (N%), monocyte percentage (M%), lymphocyte percentage (L%), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). The mean N%, M%, NLR, and PLR were significantly greater in the myopia group than in the control group (p = 0.010, p = 0.013, p = 0.003, and p = 0.011, respectively), while the mean L%and LMR were significantly lower (p = 0.003 and p = 0.010, respectively). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) values for N%, L%, M%, LMR, NLR, and PLR in distinguishing myopia from emmetropia were 0.658, 0.679, 0.631, 0.681, 0.674 and 0.683, respectively. These findings indicate that N%, L%, M%, NLR, PLR, and LMR are associated with low-to-medium myopia in school-aged children, suggesting a potential link between systemic inflammation and the development of myopia in this population.
