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

The relationship between lifestyle, ocular biomechanical behavior, and myopia is not well established in the literature. The present study aims to describe changes in ocular biomechanics during adolescence and to explore their relationship with lifestyle factors and myopic progression. Prospective cohort study including 63 adolescents (126 eyes) with a mean age of 14.1 ± 2.6 years old examined twice over a 30 ± 0.9-month period. The data from biomechanics, biometry, corneal tomography, and lifestyle was addressed. The relationships between biomechanical changes, biometric and refractive variation, and lifestyle variables were analyzed using parametric and non-parametric statistics with a significance level of
