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

purposeTo investigate clinical findings of the pseudo inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) syndrome and the outcomes of strabismus surgery and to discuss the mechanisms proposed for this disease.

methodsThis syndrome is defined by Y pattern strabismus with exotropia in upgaze. There is marked abduction and hypertropia of the adducting eye when elevation is carried out in side gaze, but there is no hypertropia of the adducting eye in horizontal side gaze. Sixteen patients were included and surgery was performed in 14 patients. Success of the surgical intervention was defined as correction of the Y pattern, orthotropia in primary position, upgaze, and downgaze.

resultsThirteen of the sixteen patients were female. The mean age was 9.6 ± 6.1 years. The mean follow-up time was 14.7 ± 16.9 months. Pre-operatively, 12 patients were orthophoric, and four patients were exophoric (4 to 8 PD) in primary position. In downgaze, all patients were orthophoric. Mean exotropic deviation in upgaze was 25.06 ± 5.9 (18 to 40 PD). Fourteen patients underwent surgery with 2-mm bilateral lateral rectus recession and full tendon supraplacement in seven cases, and 2/3 tendon supraplacement in the other seven patients. The success rate of surgery was 92.8% after the first operation, which reached 100% after a second surgical procedure was performed on one of the patients.

conclusionsStrabismus surgery is effective in correcting the Y pattern in patients with pseudo IOOA. A 2/3 tendon supraplacement combined with 2-mm recession of the lateral rectus muscles is the preferred treatment.
