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

backgroundBilateral medial rectus muscle recession with or without Cüppers' posterior fixation suture and recess and resect surgery are used to correct for large angle esotropia. There are only few reports on three muscle surgery (3MS). We analyzed the results of 3MS. PATIENTS AND

methodsBetween June 2016 and May 2020, 61 patients received 3MS for esotropia ≥ 27° (50 PD) together with oblique muscle surgery, if needed. Angles of strabismus were measured by simultaneous prism and cover testing (SPCT) and alternating prism and cover testing (APCT) at 5 m and 0.3 m. Grading was around 0.51 mm/degree (at 5 m). Medium-term results of 57 patients were available.

resultsMedians and ranges (min-max) were: age, 6 years (3-56 years). Preoperative APCT, far 34° (27-45°), near 36° (27-50°). Amount of surgery, 17 mm (15-21 mm), oblique muscle recession in 21 cases. The APCT after 5 months (3-24 months), far 2° (-10-18), near 2° (-8-18). Success rates (absolute deviation ≤ 6° [10 PD]), APCT far 68%, near 67%, SPCT far 79%, near 74%. Exotropia > 6° occurred in 4 cases (7%) at far and 3 (5%) at near, esotropia > 6° in 14 cases (25%) at far and 16 (28%) at near.

conclusionThe use of 3MS is a suitable first step procedure to correct for large angle esotropia.
