Outcomes of esotropia surgery in Saudi Arabia: An audit from a single center.
Article in Saudi journal of ophthalmology : official journal of the Saudi Ophthalmological Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 monitor the outcomes of surgical correction of esotropia in order to improve preoperative counselling for patients and their families.
methodsA retrospective review audit of the medical charts at King Fahad Medical City. All patients treated surgically to correct esotropia, from January 2007 to December 2013. All operated cases were included regardless of age and esotropia etiology. The study used a goal-determined metric to assess the outcomes of strabismus surgery > 6 months post-operatively, and on last follow-up. The risk factors for poor surgical outcomes were identified using a Pareto chart.
resultsA total of 99 cases with sufficient documentation to determine the surgical goal were included in the analysis. The goal was to improve eye contact (cosmetic correction) in 77.8% cases, to establish binocularity in 15.2% cases, to resolve diplopia for 4% cases, and to improve anomalous head posture for 3%. The overall outcome was excellent for 70.7% at the first follow-up and for 57.6% at the final visit. Simultaneous vertical muscle surgery and/or superior oblique muscle palsy were risk factors for poor outcome (odds ratio 3.15, 95% CI 1.11-8.99).
conclusionsExcellent outcome of esotropia surgery in this study is comparable to outcomes reported internationally using the goal determined metrics. Quality improvement processes like the Pareto chart are simple to use and helpful for determining the risk factors associated with poor surgical outcomes after esotropia correction from different etiology.
