Childhood esotropia: child and parent concerns.
Article in Journal of AAPOS : the official publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 identify specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) concerns affecting children with esotropia as expressed by children or one of their parents (proxy) and concerns affecting the parents themselves.
methodsSixty children with esotropia (0-17 years of age) and 1 parent for each child were prospectively enrolled. Individual semistructured interviews were conducted with children aged 5-17 years (n = 40) and 1 parent each for child ages 0-17 years. Transcripts of recorded interviews were evaluated using NVivo software. Specific concerns were identified from both child and parent interviews and coded. From these specific codes, broad themes were identified. Frequency of each theme was calculated, along with the frequency of specific codes within each theme.
resultsRegarding the child's experience 6 broad themes were identified: visual function (mentioned by 32 of 40 children (80%) and by 50 of 60 parents (proxy assessment of child, 83%), treatment (78% and 85%), emotions (65% and 67%), social (58% and 68%), physical (58% and 32%), and worry (45% and 7%). Regarding the parents' own experience, 5 broad themes were identified: treatment (59 of 60 parents, 98%), worry (97%), emotions (82%), compensation for condition (80%), and affects family (23%).
conclusionsA wide range of concerns were identified from interviews of children with esotropia and their parents. Concerns reflect the impact of esotropia in physical, emotional, and social domains, and specific concerns will be used for the development of questionnaires to quantify the effects of esotropia on children's and parents' quality of life.
