Correlation between Worth Four Dot Test Results and Fusional Control in Intermittent Exotropia.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic & vision research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeTo compare the results of Worth 4-dot test (WFDT) performed in dark and light, and at different distances, with fusional control in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT).
methodsDark and light WFDT was performed for new IXT subjects at different distances and the results were compared with level of office-based fusional control.
resultsFifty IXT patients including 17 male and 33 female subjects participated in the study. A significant difference (P<0.05) was observed between levels of home and office-based fusional control (P<0.05). A weak correlation was present between the results of WFDT and level of office-based fusional control; the highest agreement (Kappa=0.088) was observed with dark WFDT performed at a distance of 4m.
conclusionEvaluation of fusional state by far WFDT, especially in a dark room, shows modest correlation with office-based fusional control in IXT patients and can be used as an adjunct to more complex tests such as far stereoacuity.
