Association of anthropometric parameter with myopia in children and adolescents: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of obesity (2005), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo systematically evaluate the association between anthropometric parameter and myopia in children and adolescents.
methodsPubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, Embase, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data, and VIP databases were searched from inception to June, 2025. We collected cross-sectional studies on the association between anthropometric parameter and myopia in children and adolescents aged 0-25 years, including body mass index (BMI) and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI). After independently screening the literature, extracting the data and evaluating the risk of bias in the included studies by 2 researchers, meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0 software.
resultsA total of 18 cross-sectional studies were included, from which 1,505,099 participants were analyzed. Meta-analysis results suggested a positive relationship between anthropometric parameters and myopia. The pooled OR for overweight was 1.27 (95%CI: 1.08 ~ 1.51; I
conclusionsOur findings support that anthropometric parameter was significantly associated with myopia in children and adolescents. However, given the limitations of the included cross-sectional studies, prospective studies are warranted to further investigate this issue.
