Capturing the Moment of Fusion Loss in Intermittent Exotropia.
Article in Ophthalmology, 2017. 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
purposeTo characterize eye movements made by patients with intermittent exotropia when fusion loss occurs spontaneously and to compare them with those induced by covering 1 eye and with strategies used to recover fusion.
designProspective study of a patient cohort referred to our laboratory.
participantsThirteen patients with typical findings of intermittent exotropia who experienced frequent spontaneous loss of fusion.
methodsThe position of each eye was recorded with a video eye tracker under infrared illumination while fixating on a small central near target.
main outcome measuresEye position and peak velocity measured during spontaneous loss of fusion, shutter-induced loss of fusion, and recovery of fusion.
resultsIn 10 of 13 subjects, the eye movement made after spontaneous loss of fusion was indistinguishable from that induced by covering 1 eye. It reached 90% of full amplitude in a mean of 1.75 seconds. Peak velocity of the deviating eye's movement was highly correlated for spontaneous and shutter-induced events. Peak velocity was also proportional to exotropia amplitude. Recovery of fusion was more rapid than loss of fusion, and often was accompanied by interjection of a disconjugate saccade.
conclusionsLoss of fusion in intermittent exotropia is not influenced by visual feedback. Excessive divergence tone may be responsible, but breakdown of alignment occurs via a unique, pathological type of eye movement that differs from a normal, physiological divergence eye movement.
