Comitant strabismus: Perspectives, present and future.
Article in Saudi journal of ophthalmology : official journal of the Saudi Ophthalmological Society, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Comitant strabismus is a common condition affecting infants, children and adults. Its impact on the affected patient may be severe resulting in visual loss, lack of binocularity, diplopia, social stigma and multiple corrective surgeries within the affected individual's lifespan. It is therefore important that this prevalent disorder should be better understood. We review the current understanding of the demographics and what is known of the etiology, risk factors and genetics of strabismus. We stress the importance of careful clinical assessment in classifying strabismus, and the common pitfalls in the measurement and pre-operative sensory work-up of the strabismic patient. The fact strabismus is comitant does not indicate it is benign: acute onset of comitant esotropia may be a presenting sign of pontine or cerebellar tumor. Lastly, we review the impact of genetics on our understanding of strabismus. While the causes of many types of congenital incomitant strabismus have been elucidated through careful observation and genetic screening, the genetics of comitant strabismus are more complex and multifactorial. Only through careful study and recruitment of large groups of affected individuals and families can we start to answer the question: why is this group of patients pre-disposed to develop strabismus. Doing so will help identify patients at risk, to spare them from the significant morbidity associated with this common disorder.
