Changes in horizontal strabismus after inferior rectus muscle recession with or without nasal transposition in thyroid eye disease: A retrospective, observational study.
Observational study in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Since the inferior rectus muscle (IRM) is a secondary adductor, it is expected to commonly observe esotropia in thyroid-associated inferior rectus myopathy, but this can be improved after the IRM recession. However, variable outcomes regarding the changes in horizontal strabismus after IRM recession ± IRM nasal transposition have been encountered in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). We, therefore, examined the changes in 62 patients with TED in this retrospective, observational, comparative study. The patients were classified into 3 groups based on the results of postoperative changes in horizontal strabismus: Groups A (reduced esotropia), B (unchanged esotropia), and C (increased esotropia). Consequently, Groups A, B, and C included 23 (38.7%), 11 (17.7%), and 27 (43.5%) patients, respectively. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, the angle of preoperative esotropia (P < 0.001) and the amount of IRM nasal transposition (P = 0.049) were significant predictors of postoperative changes in horizontal strabismus. The results of our study will be helpful to ophthalmologists for formulating an effective preoperative surgical plan.
