Association of intraocular pressure with ocular parameters in 14-18-year-old Chinese junior high students: the Anyang Childhood Eye Study.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2026. 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
objectiveTo examine the associations between intraocular pressure (IOP) and various ocular parameters among adolescents in central China.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 2,267 participants from 40 classes across four junior high schools. Measurements of central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth (ACD), and axial length (AL) were performed using the Lenstar 900. Cycloplegic refractive state was assessed with an automatic optometer, while IOP was measured using a non-contact tonometer.
resultsA total of 1,720 participants with valid data were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 15.39 ± 1.09 years, and 52% of participants were male. The mean CCT was 549.98 ± 32.586 μm, with males having a significantly higher mean CCT (552.47 ± 33.011 μm) compared to females (547.63 ± 32.043 μm) (t = 4.358, P < 0.001). The mean IOP was 15.39 ± 2.45 mmHg. IOP was significantly correlated with CCT (r = 0.390, P < 0.001), with regression analysis indicating a 0.37 mmHg increase in IOP for every 10 μm increase in CCT (y = -4.271 + 0.037x, P < 0.001). Additionally, IOP was positively associated with refractive error (r = 0.076, P < 0.001), AL (r = 0.088, P < 0.001) and corneal curvature (r = -0.025, P < 0.001), while no significant association was observed with ACD (r = 0.023, P = 0.207). Male participants had higher mean values for CCT, AL, and ACD, while female participants had greater corneal curvature.
conclusionIn this cross-sectional study of Chinese adolescents, IOP demonstrated significant positive associations with CCT, refractive error, and AL, but no significant association with ACD. Additionally, sex-based differences were observed in key ocular parameters, highlighting the need to consider sex variations in ocular health assessments. These findings underscore the importance of considering CCT when interpreting IOP measurements in younger populations.
