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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesTo describe the progression of axial and segmental ocular biometric lengths and refractive status in adolescents and study independent associations between these changes and baseline ocular biomechanics.

methodsProspective cohort of 126 eyes from 63 individuals followed for 2.5 years. Data from general health and lifestyle were collected through a validated questionnaire. Data from ocular biometry (IOL MASTER 700

resultsThe cohort of the present work had a mean age of 14.1 ± 2.6 years at baseline. Variations of 0.122 ± 0.17 mm, 0.092 ± 0.17 mm, and -0.32 ± 0.9 D were found in AL, VCL, and SE at follow-up, respectively. Within the multivariable regression models, the biomechanical parameters found to be independently associated with d_AL (model 1), d_VCL (model 2), and d_SE (model 3) were as follows: Model 1-Biomechanically corrected IOP (bIOP), Integrated Radius (IR), and A2 Deflection Area (A2DArea); Model 2-bIOP, IR, and A2DArea; and Model 3-IR and WholeEyeMovementMAxTime (MaxWEMT).

conclusionsThe study of ocular biomechanical behavior may play a pivotal role in the risk assessment of ocular elongation and myopic progression. This work found independent associations between ocular biomechanical behavior at baseline and axial and segmental ocular elongation and refractive myopization, mainly including bIOP, IR, and MaxWEMT.
