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

Purpose: To investigate the coordination among astigmatism components, including refractive astigmatism (RA), corneal astigmatism (CA), and internal astigmatism (IA), across refractive statuses in a large cycloplegic sample of Chinese young adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 7971 undergraduate students in China. Cycloplegic refraction and ocular biometric were measured using an autorefractor and optical biometry. IA was calculated as the vector difference between RA and CA. Relationships among astigmatism components, refractive errors, and ocular parameters were analyzed using generalized additive models, smoothed curve fitting, and threshold effect analysis. Results: A total of 7315 young adults (mean age = 20.2 ± 1.5 years; 37.0% male) were included. The prevalence rates of RA, CA, and IA (≥1.0 D) were 16.4%, 36.7%, and 12.2%, respectively. RA and CA were significantly higher in the high myopia, moderate myopia, and moderate hyperopia groups compared to the emmetropia group, while IA was significantly smaller only in the high myopia group (P < 0.001). Piecewise relationships among RA, CA, and IA with refractive errors were identified. RA and CA showed a significant increase, whereas IA decreased in moderate and high myopia. Furthermore, the compensatory effect of IA was significantly reduced in the high myopia group. Conclusions: The components of astigmatism demonstrated coordination from low myopia to low hyperopia, but this coordination was reduced in high myopia. Translational Relevance: Greater attention should be paid to changes in astigmatism components and their coordination in high myopia.
