Changes in conjunctival-scleral thickness after strabismus surgery measured with anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
Observational study in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 evaluate changes in conjunctival-scleral thickness following strabismus surgery with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). STUDY
designProspective, observational, consecutive case series.
methodsDistances between the conjunctival epithelium and inner scleral wall were measured with AS-OCT before and 3-5 months after strabismus surgery. The measurements were performed at 1.5 mm (limbus), 7.0 mm (insertion), and 8.0 mm (tendon) posterior to the scleral spur on the lateral rectus muscle (LR); and 1.5 mm (limbus), 4.0 mm (insertion), and 5.5 mm (tendon) posterior to the scleral spur on the medial rectus muscle (MR). Thirty-three extraocular muscles (20 LRs and 13 MRs) from 23 subjects were studied.
resultsThicknesses were significantly less at the insertion (0.95-0.78 mm; p < 0.001) and tendon (0.99-0.78 mm; p < 0.001) after LR recession and at the tendon (1.21-0.92 mm; p = 0.02) after MR recession. Thicknesses were significantly greater at the insertion (0.82-1.07 mm; p = 0.01) and tendon (0.95-1.28 mm; p = 0.01) after MR resection or plication and at the limbus, insertion, and tendon (0.75-0.90 mm, 0.94-1.19 mm, 1.03-1.28 mm, respectively; all p = 0.04) after LR resection or plication.
conclusionConjunctival-scleral thicknesses showed various changes after recession and resection or plication. These findings may help detect previous surgical operations when conjunctival scarring and ciliary vessel changes are unclear.
