The effect of orthokeratology lens optical zone size on myopia control in adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: This study aims to investigate the impact of different optical zone sizes in orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses on myopia control in adolescents. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 84 subjects who had undergone Ortho-K lens treatment for over 12 months. Subjects were divided into two groups based on the optical zone size: 5-mm and 6-mm. The study compared changes in axial length, corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, nasal defocus (ΔN), temporal defocus (ΔT), and the diameter of the peripheral plus power ring (PPRD). Additionally, corneal safety indicators, including corneal staining rate, corneal endothelial cell density, and visual acuity, were evaluated. Results: Data from the right eyes of 43 patients in the 5-mm group and 41 patients in the 6-mm group were analyzed. Baseline axial lengths were 24.77 ± 0.64 mm and 24.87 ± 0.75 mm, respectively. After 12 months of Ortho-K lens wear, the mean change in axial length was 0.25 ± 0.17 mm in the 5-mm group and 0.29 ± 0.16 mm in the 6-mm group, Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant time effect ( Conclusion: For adolescents with low-to-moderate astigmatism, 5-mm Back Optical Zone Diameter (BOZD) Ortho-K lenses demonstrated slightly superior efficacy in controlling myopia progression compared to 6- mm lenses, characterized by a smaller PPRD and higher defocus quantity. Measuring PPRD 1 month after lens wear may predict future axial length control.
