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

Designing more effective myopia control optical-based therapies requires a better understanding of the longitudinal changes in retinal image quality across the central and peripheral retina of children with different refractive profiles. To this end, we computed through-focus image quality descriptors from ocular aberrations measured across an eccentricity range of 60°, with data acquired biannually over three years in 62 children with initial functional emmetropia participating in the PICNIC study. Our results reveal distinct spatiotemporal optical signatures associated with myopia development: longer peripheral depth of focus and reduced image quality at the near-temporal and central retina even after foveal correction, and placement of the sharpest images behind the temporal retina.
