Macular cone cell mosaic metrics in myopia: severity evaluation and diagnostic efficiency using adaptive optics fundus camera.
Article in Eye (London, England), 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
objectivesTo quantify macular cone cell mosaic metrics in patients with varying degrees of myopia and explore its link to myopia severity using an adaptive optics (AO) fundus camera.
methodsA total of 76 age- and gender-matched patients with varying degrees of myopia (pre-myopia, low, moderate, and high) were recruited. Macular cone cell mosaic metrics (density, spacing, regularity, dispersion) were quantified via adaptive optics (AO) imaging, including correlations between AO-derived parameters and clinical indicators (spherical equivalent refraction, axial length) and predictive efficacy of AO metrics for myopia severity evaluated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
resultsAs spherical equivalent refraction (SER) decreased, cone density (r = 0.65) and regularity (r = 0.38) significantly declined, while spacing (r = -0.65) and dispersion (r = -0.40) increased (all P < 0.001). Axial length (AL) was negatively correlated with density (r = -0.62) and regularity (r = -0.39), and positively correlated with spacing (r = 0.61) and dispersion (r = 0.38) (all P < 0.001). Predictive efficacy analysis based on AO-derived parameters revealed the highest AUROC value in the HM group (0.96), followed by Pre-M (0.86), LM (0.82), and MM (0.65) groups, indicating that AO metrics demonstrated superior early identification capability for HM severity.
conclusionsThe AO fundus camera enables noninvasive evaluation of macular cone cell mosaic metrics, revealing strong correlations between density, regularity, spacing, dispersion, and myopia severity. These metrics demonstrate potential as biomarkers for evaluating myopic changes, with AO showing enhanced diagnostic efficacy in high myopia.
