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 correlation between dry eye and myopia in Taiwanese school children. Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled children aged 5-14-years-old between January 2021 and April 2022. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and an activity questionnaire were used to assess the severity of dry eye and the children's lifestyle. Dry eye was assessed using Schirmer's I test, tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, and the lid abnormality score. The correlation between dry eye and myopia was determined by linear regression analysis. Results: In total, 31 non-myopic (mean age, 9.03 years) and 34 myopic (mean age, 8.44 years) children were included in the final analysis. Children with myopia had a significantly higher mean OSDI than children without myopia (4.79 ± 6.90 versus 1.68 ± 3.46, Conclusion: Children with myopia have a higher OSDI and higher prevalence of dry eye than children without myopia. After adjusting for age, the OSDI was associated with more negative spherical power and the presence of myopia.
