Association between outdoor air pollutant exposure and refractive error changes: A retrospective clinical practice study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent decades, the impact of air pollution on eye health has been emphasized, but the effect of air pollution on changes in refractive error is still unknown. A comprehensive retrospective cohort study was conducted to address this, utilizing the China Medical University Hospital Clinical Research Data Repository (CMUH-CRDR). It included 4,399 participants aged 6-12 years, with 2,166 females and 2,223 males, who visited the ophthalmology department between 2003 and 2019, ensuring a robust and representative sample. The mean age was 7.04 years (± 2.20), and the change in refractive error was highest in subjects aged between 7 and 9. Cumulative exposure to delicate particulate matter (PM
