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

purposeThis study aims to systematically assess the level of compliance during orthokeratology lens (OK lens) wear among children and adolescents, and to analyze the potential related factors influencing compliance with OK lens wear, thereby providing evidence‑based support for standardized management in clinical settings.

methodsPubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, SinoMed, WanfangData, and VIP Database were systematically searched for relevant literature published from the inception of each database up to September 24, 2025. Methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist. Meta‑analysis, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and publication bias test were conducted using the software R.

resultsIn total, 26 studies were included. The follow‑up compliance rates at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months were 96.93%, 92.05%, 83.55%, 67.73%, and 75.09%, respectively. The wearing compliance rates at 3 months and 12 months were 91.15% and 70.76%, respectively. The care and cleaning compliance rate was 84.72%. Overall compliance rate was 87.59%. Publication year and study design were initially considered as sources of heterogeneity and were examined through subgroup analyses. Follow‑up compliance rates in studies published between 2020 and 2025 were generally lower than those in studies published from 2010 to 2019. In interventional studies, the wearing compliance rate and the cleaning compliance rate in the experimental groups were significantly higher than those in the control groups (95.18% vs. 66.20%; 99.05% vs. 65.17%).

conclusionGiven the heterogeneity across studies in definitions and assessment time points, the pooled estimates should be interpreted with caution. Accordingly, the overall level of compliance with OK lens wear among children and adolescents is considered moderate to high. However, it tends to decline over time. In clinical practice, follow‑up management during the medium‑ and long‑term stages after OK lens wear should be strengthened, and long‑term standardized use of OK lenses among children should be ameliorated.
