The global landscape of myopia prevalence and its social determinants in children and adolescents: a cross-regional analysis.
Article in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 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: Investigation of the global profile of myopia prevalence in children and adolescents and analysis of the impact of social factors, including economic development level, social welfare, education, demographic structure, and geographical environment, on the progression of myopia. Methods: A retrospective study analyzed data from 31 global datasets (2004-2023) to assess social determinants of myopia prevalence. Using univariate and multiple linear regression, we evaluated the associations between myopia prevalence in children and adolescents and macroeconomic, educational, demographic, and environmental factors sourced from public databases. To further assess the robustness of the results, sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results: Univariate linear regression analysis revealed that GDP (β = 0.369, Conclusion: East Asia exhibits the highest global prevalence of myopia in children and adolescents, while Europe and the Americas demonstrate comparatively lower, though variable, rates. Key influencing factors include economic development (GDP), social welfare (GDP per capita), demographic structure (population distribution and urbanization), and geographical setting (longitude).
