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

To evaluate the anti-myopic effect of ZhuJing Pill (ZJP) in a guinea pig model of lens-induced myopia (LIM) and investigate whether ZJP attenuates ciliary muscle fibrosis by improving mitochondrial function, regulating KEAP1/NRF2 antioxidant defense, and inhibiting TGF-β-related fibrotic signaling. One hundred and forty-four male guinea pigs (2 weeks old) were randomly assigned to four groups: a normal control (NC), a LIM model, a ZJP treatment, and a sham (SHAM). All but NC wore - 6.00 D lenses on the right eye to induce myopia. ZJP was orally administered at 5.0 g/kg/day for 4 or 6 weeks. Refractive error, axial length, and ciliary muscle structure were measured by A-scan ultrasonography and OCT. Ciliary muscle tissues were analyzed using HE, Masson's trichrome, and Sirius Red staining. Mitochondrial membrane potential, Ca
