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
purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the importance and efficacy of the standard coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis method for the correct clinical diagnosis of the sagging eye syndrome.
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated the standard coronal MRI efficacy by comparing the positions of the orbital pulleys and extraocular muscles in patients with sagging eye syndrome as well as controls. The participants included 50 patients with sagging eye syndrome (aged 73.3 ± 6.7 years) and 17 age-matched control patients (aged 70.9 ± 4.3 years) that presented optic neuritis. The participants were classified into groups of age-related distance esotropia and cyclo-vertical strabismus. Lateral rectus-superior rectus band condition, lateral rectus vertical angle, lateral rectus tilting angle, and superior rectus-lateral rectus displacement angle were examined.
resultsThe lateral rectus-superior rectus band was more frequently disordered in the two groups than that in the control. The lateral rectus vertical and tilt angle examinations exhibited a significant difference in the age-related distance esotropia [(- 13.3 ± 10.9°, p < 0.05) and (- 24.1 ± 9.5°, p < 0.01)] and cyclo-vertical strabismus [(- 11.9 ± 6.9°, p < 0.05) and (- 20.8 ± 9.3°, p < 0.01)] groups compared with those in the control group [(- 7.5 ± 5.1°) and (- 12.2 ± 9.1°)]. The superior rectus-lateral rectus displacement angle did not present a significant difference between the patients and control groups.
conclusionsPatients with sagging eye syndrome exhibited disordered orbital pulley and extraocular muscle malposition, as determined by standard coronal magnetic resonance imaging, indicating the effectiveness of the procedure for diagnosing sagging eye syndrome.
