Relationship between myopia severity, near exophoria, vergence, and accommodation amplitude in children.

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.
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
purposeTo investigate the relationship between myopia severity, near exophoria, near point of convergence (NPC), and accommodation amplitude (AA) in children.
methodsThis descriptive, cross-sectional, hospital-based study included 117 myopic children with a mean age of 11.32 ± 2.87 years. Refraction was measured with an autorefractometer and confirmed by retinoscopy. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy were performed to ensure participants met the study's inclusion criteria. AA and NPC were measured using a Royal Air Force ruler. Near exophoria was assessed with a prism bar and cover test.
resultsOf the 117 myopic children, 95 (81.2%) had a parental history of myopia, with no significant difference between genders (
conclusionThe study found a significant positive correlation between near exophoria and the severity of myopia in children, suggesting that binocular vision anomalies may contribute to myopia progression or that myopia itself may influence near exophoria. Therefore, comprehensive eye examinations for myopic children should include binocular vision assessments to guide effective management strategies.
