Factors affecting residual exotropia after two muscle surgery for intermittent exotropia.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
aimTo study the factors affecting residual exotropia (>10 PD) at 4-6wk postoperative visit following two rectus muscle surgery for intermittent exotropia [bilateral lateral rectus (LR) recession or unilateral recess resect procedure].
methodsA retrospective chart review of patients with intermittent exotropia ≤50 PD who underwent two rectus muscle surgery in between Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2013 was performed. Possible factors were compared between patients with residual exotropia (>10 PD) and successful outcome (within 10 PD of orthotropia) at the 4-6wk postoperative visit. Effect/dose ratio was calculated by dividing the effect of surgery by the total amount (mm) of muscle surgery done.
resultsOne hundred and fifty-seven patients with mean age of 14y (range 3-53y) were included. Twenty-seven patients (17.2%) had residual exotropia at 4-6wk postoperative follow up. Age at surgery (
conclusionResidual exotropia is seen in 17% of patients after two muscle surgery for intermittent exotropia. Patients with older age and larger preoperative deviation have greater chances of developing failure of two muscle strabismus surgery for intermittent exotropia.
