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

Purpose: To characterize alterations in peripapillary structural and microvascular features in children and adolescents with myopia across different stages of severity using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with the enrollment of 106 eyes from 54 children. Three groups of Group A (AL ≤ 24 mm, 34 eyes), Group B (24 < AL < 25 mm, 37 eyes), and Group C (AL ≥ 2 5 mm, 35 eyes) were established based on the axial length (AL) of the included participants. All participants completed a standardized ophthalmic examination protocol, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), autorefraction, AL and SS-OCTA. The specific parameters were the peripapillary retinal thickness (pRT), peripapillary choroidal thickness (pCT), peripapillary superficial vascular complex density (pSVD), peripapillary deep vascular complex density (pDVD), peripapillary choroidal vessel volume (pCVV) and peripapillary choroidal vascular index (pCVI). Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: There were significant differences in pRT within the NS, NI, IT, TS, and ST regions with increasing AL ( Conclusion: The pRT shows a significant thinning trend when AL exceeds 25 mm. AL has negative correlations with pCT and pDVD, but positive correlations with pSVD in the IT, TI, ST, and TS regions. These findings highlight the potential of peripapillary structural parameters for monitoring myopia progression.
