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 evaluate if there is a nasal displacement of the vertical rectus muscles in heavy eye syndrome (HES) and/or sagging eye syndrome (SES) compared with age-matched controls.

methodsWe reviewed the charts of all patients with the diagnosis of HES or SES who were seen at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) between the years 2008-2016 who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and orbits. The control group included patients who had brain and orbital MRIs at UCSD in the absence of known pathology in the orbits or globes. Measurements were taken by 3 separate examiners for all groups.

resultsTwenty-four patients (16 with SES and 8 with HES) and 24 age-matched controls were retrospectively reviewed. The superior rectus (SR) of patients with HES and SES was more nasally displaced from the midline compared with that of age-matched controls (p = 0.04, p = 0.03, respectively). The inferior rectus (IR) of patients with HES but not with SES was more nasally displaced from the midline compared with that of age-matched controls (p = 0.04, p = 0.62, respectively). In all groups, the IR nasal displacement from the midline was approximately double compared with the SR.

conclusionsThere is a significant nasal displacement of the SR in HES and SES and IR in HES. The observed IR nasal displacement in HES is a new finding and may explain the residual hypotropia and/or esotropia following surgical interventions for HES not involving the IR.
