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 Genome-wide association studies have been suggested single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can influence susceptibility to high myopia (HM). To investigate the associations of multiple SNPs of 4 common genes and HM, we collected all related articles about these 4 common SNPs and risk of HM. MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed and Wanfang databases were searched for articles published until Dec 10, 2025 using the keywords 'GJD2' or 'ZC3H11B' or 'MMP1' or 'MMP9', 'polymorphism' and 'myopia' or 'shortsightedness'. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to examine the association between above 4 genes' SNPs and HM risk using Stata software. RESULTS We performed a meta-analysis of data from 15 published articles. There were 2 SNPs in the GJD2 gene, 4 SNPs in the ZC3H11B gene, 1 in SNP in the MMP1 gene, and 1 SNP in the MMP9 gene. After analyses using Stata, significant results were detected: rs3743123 in the GJD2 gene was associated with a decreased overall HM risk. Additionally, similar trends were detected in all 4 SNPs in the ZC3H11B gene: rs4373767, rs4428898, rs10779363and rs7544369. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the GJD2 gene rs3743123 and ZC3H11B gene 4 SNPs (rs4373767, rs4428898, rs10779363, rs7544369) polymorphisms are associated with risk of HM. Our results need to be confirmed by larger studies and mechanism research, which may aid in the early identification and prognostic evaluation of HM.
