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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the 1-year myopia control efficacy of 3 optical interventions-lenslet-based design (LD) spectacle lenses, peripheral defocus (PD) spectacle lenses, and orthokeratology (OK) contact lenses-in real-world clinical settings among children and adolescents in China. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, we analyzed the medical records of 5182 participants aged between 6 and 16 years old. The participants were divided into four groups according to the myopia control method. The axial length (AL) and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of the right eye were used to assess myopia progression. Myopia progression was compared across the matched cohorts using propensity score matching and multiple linear regression. Subgroup analyses were used to assess the differential efficacy of lenses, stratified by age, sex, and baseline refractive status. Results: At the 1-year follow-up, the LD group demonstrated SER progression of -0.23 ± 0.09 diopter (D) and 0.12 ± 0.06 mm of axial elongation (AE) compared with the single vision (SV) group. The OK group demonstrated an AE reduction of 0.13 ± 0.06 mm compared with the SV group. Stratified analyses demonstrated consistent superiority of OK lenses over PD and SV lenses across all subgroups (P < 0.05 for AL), whereas LD and OK lenses showed comparable efficacy in AL control (P > 0.05). Conclusions: LD and OK lenses demonstrated superior efficacy in controlling myopia compared with PD and SV lenses, with comparable AL control between the two interventions. Translational Relevance: This large-scale, real-world evidence translates the efficacy of myopia-control lenses into actionable guidance for pediatric clinical practice.
