Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Current medical literature consistently supports the consensus that both environmental and genetic factors contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of myopia.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently notes that myopia development and progression are multifactorial conditions influenced by both genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Papers 1, 4, and 6 explicitly state or review the interplay of genetic and environmental risk factors in myopia pathogenesis. None of the papers refute this claim.
