1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeFew studies report the prevalence and types of strabismus, or average of stereopsis in Japanese adults. We performed ophthalmological evaluation including motility and stereopsis during medical examinations at cooperative companies.

methodsWe studies 1214 volunteers. The average age was 41.2 ± 12.6 (range 20-86) years. Examinations were carried out using their customary eyewear, evaluating alternate prism cover test (APCT), and Titmus stereo test (TST).

resultsThe mean horizontal angle at near distance (1/3 m) was 8.1 ± 6.0 Prism Diopter (PD), and vertical angle was 0.09 ± 1.0 PD. The total number of cases who had intermittent or constant tropia was 44 (3.6%), and the ratio of exotopia to esotropia (XT:ET ratio) was 18.5:1. The mean horizontal angle at far distance (5 m) was 3.9 ± 3.7 PD, and vertical angle was 0.09 ± 1.7 PD. The total number of cases who had intermittent or constant tropia was 21 (1.7%), and the XT:ET ratio was 7:1. The average TST was 50.1 ± 1.6 arcsec. 7.3% (n = 89) of the cases did not reach 100 arcsec.

conclusionsWe report detailed strabismus and stereopsis in Japanese adults. The XT:ET ratio was 18.5:1 in near distance, 7:1 in far distance. In our study, more than 60% of the cases of exotropia were convergence insufficiency type, and this may be a characteristic in Japanese adults.
