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

purposeThe purpose of the study was to investigate intraocular pressure (IOP), cup-to-disc ratio (CDR), and ocular biometrics in school-aged children in Taiwan and to evaluate the factors associated with IOP and CDR. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis nationwide school-based study prospectively enrolled children aged 6-18 years. Cycloplegic autorefraction, A-scan ultrasonography, IOP measurement with a rebound tonometer, and CDR assessment with indirect ophthalmoscopy were performed. High myopia (HM) was defined as spherical equivalent (SE) <-5.00 diopters or axial length (AL) ≥26 mm. Linear mixed-effects models evaluated the associations between ocular parameters, age, and sex and identified factors associated with IOP and CDR.

resultsWe enrolled 6264 eyes from 3132 children (1435 girls and 1697 boys; mean age 12.1 ± 3.4 years; mean IOP 17.2 ± 2.6 mmHg). The median CDR was 0.3 (range: 0.1-0.9); 10.8% of eyes had a CDR >0.4, and 1.8% had a CDR >0.6. The overall prevalence of HM was 8.0%, increasing to 25.4% at age 17. AL, anterior and vitreous chamber depth, IOP, and CDR all increased with age (all

conclusionIn school-aged children, IOP and CDR showed a slight increase with age. AL was an important determinant of IOP and CDR. HM may amplify the interaction among IOP, CDR, and AL.
