Outcome of monocular surgery for horizontal strabismus in Hyderabad.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveSquint surgery is frequently performed successfully in Hyderabad. However, no study in any detail has been performed on the outcome of monocular surgery for horizontal squint in the region. This study aims to determine the results of monocular surgery for horizontal trabismus.
designRetrospective/observational study. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThe study was conducted on patients aged under 45 years, presenting with horizontal strabismus and undergoing monocular squint surgery. Anterior segment slit lamp examination, and if possible, posterior segment examination with 90 diopter (D) and 78 D fundoscopes was performed. Angle of deviation was measured. Patients were divided into two groups (esotropia and exotropia). Investigations were performed. Surgery was done under general anesthesia. A second surgical procedure was performed after six months for any residual deviations.
resultsAfter squint surgery, patients in group 1 (79%) and in group 2 (73.3%) had residual deviation of less than 15 prism diopters (PD). The preoperative deviations of 60 PD or less illustrated excellent domino effects with residual deviation of fewer than 15 PD. Three patients with successive deviation underwent a second surgery with excellent outcomes.
conclusionFew extraocular muscles can be prevented due to monocular squint surgery when multiple surgeries are needed.
