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

purposeTo characterize associations between ocular biometrics and lens power (LP), identify nonlinear inflection points, and evaluate their role in modulating the myopia control efficacy of highly aspherical lenslets (HAL).

methodsThis retrospective study included two cohorts. The cross-sectional cohort (n = 559, mild-to-moderate myopia) was analyzed using Pearson/Spearman correlation and Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) to explore associations and nonlinear relationships.The 12-month HAL follow-up cohort (n = 62 children) was evaluated using repeated-measures ANOVA and ANCOVA. Subgroup analyses stratified by myopia progression speed (based on annual spherical equivalent (SE) change and axial length (AL) growth) were performed using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests.

resultsGAMMs identified critical inflection points: AL = 24.0 mm, AL/CR = 3.15, and lens thickness (LT) = 3.3 mm. LP decreased more rapidly in subgroups with AL ≤ 24 mm, AL/CR < 3.15, or LT > 3.3 mm(P < 0.05). HAL wearers with AL ≤ 24 mm, AL/CR < 3.15, or LT > 3.3 mm showed faster LP reduction. The slow-progression group exhibited significantly greater annual LP reduction than the rapid-progression group (-0.28 ± 0.44 D vs. -0.03 ± 0.42 D, P = 0.02). Stage-specific analysis showed HAL's strongest regulatory effect on SE and LP occurred during the 3-6 month interval.

conclusionsWe identified nonlinear relationships and critical inflection points between ocular biometrics (AL = 24.0 mm, AL/CR = 3.15, LT = 3.3 mm) and LP. Gender was significantly associated with LP, and AL/CR was superior to AL alone for evaluating lens compensation. AL > 24 mm and AL/CR ≥ 3.15 indicate exhausted lens compensation and rapid myopia progression. HAL provides effective myopia control, and these inflection-based thresholds enable clinical risk stratification and personalized intervention with improved precision and efficacy.
