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

Pediatric myopia is conventionally characterized as a refractive anomaly influenced by optical defocus and environmental factors. Emerging evidence suggests that axial elongation during childhood may be usefully reframed through a neuro-ophthalmic perspective, integrating retinal signaling, visual cortex maturation, and neuroplasticity. This minireview examines myopia within an eye-brain axis framework, emphasizing the roles of retinal neurotransmitters, dopaminergic pathways, and visual processing networks in regulating eye growth. Here, "brain-centric" denotes a clinically integrative model in which neurodevelopmental state and brain-governed behaviors (
