Age-Specific Efficacy of MiSight Dual-Focus Soft Contact Lenses and Orthokeratology Lenses for Myopia Control in Pediatric Patients: A Retrospective Comparative Study.
Article in Eye & contact lens, 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
objectivesTo assess age-specific effectiveness of dual-focus soft contact lenses (MiSight) and orthokeratology (Ortho-K) in slowing myopia progression over 18 months in pediatric patients, emphasizing axial length (AL) changes.
methodsRetrospective analysis of 239 eyes from 123 myopic pediatric patients (aged 8-18 years) (MiSight: 137 eyes; Ortho-K: 102 eyes), stratified by age (younger: ≤10 vs. older: >10 years). Primary outcome was AL elongation measured by IOL Master. Secondary outcomes included spherical equivalent (SE), keratometry, and cylinder power (CYL) through autorefraction. Orthokeratology measurements were taken during treatment without washout, limiting direct refractive comparisons. Linear mixed models were used for intragroup changes, and general linear model adjustment was applied for baseline imbalances in AL and CYL.
resultsDespite significant baseline imbalances (MiSight group had longer AL and more myopic SE), GLM-adjusted analysis showed modestly lower overall annualized AL elongation with MiSight (0.20 mm/year) compared with Ortho-K (0.24 mm/year). In older children (older than 10 years), MiSight was associated with lower AL progression, particularly between 6 to 12 months (0.07 vs. 0.11 mm/6-months, P =0.012). In younger children (10 years and younger), adjusted AL elongation rates were comparable between groups. MiSight maintained relatively stable refractive parameters, while Ortho-K induced corneal flattening but progressive worsening of CYL.
conclusionsThis age-stratified retrospective comparison demonstrated modestly lower axial elongation with MiSight after adjustment for baseline differences, particularly in older children (older than 10 years). These findings suggest potential age-dependent differences in treatment response between the two modalities and highlight the importance of individualized myopia management strategies.
