Fig. 2From: Construction and implications of structural equation modeling network for pediatric cataract: a data mining research of rare diseasesThe standardized SEM architecture and interrelationships of the constructs. a The overall network exhibited a positive correlation with the FUN (0.974) and STR indices (1.046). The age at diagnosis (0.753) was positively correlated with the overall index, while an abnormal pregnancy experience (−0.26) exhibited a negative relationship with the overall index. b The lesion area (−0.243), density (−0.57) and location (−0.357) were all negatively correlated with the STR index. Meanwhile, the AL variable has the positive correlation with the STR index (0.615). c, Increased UCVA was directly associated with a higher FUN index (0.571), and the IOP value was positively correlated with the FUN index (0.342).
