Effect of age on reoperation rate in children undergoing exotropia surgery.
Article in Acta ophthalmologica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07446621 (Risk Factors And Surgical Outcomes Of Strabismus Reoperation), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
purposeTo determine the effect of age on the reoperation rate in children undergoing exotropia surgery.
methodsThis was a population-based retrospective cohort study using claims data that included children ≤ 12 years who had undergone exotropia surgery as the first strabismus operation and had ≥ 3 years of continuous enrolment were selected from the Optum de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database (2003-2019). Patient age at the first exotropia surgery was grouped into three categories; 0-3, 4-6, and 7-12 years. We assessed the sex, race, age, surgical methods, continuous enrolment period after the first surgery, and the time between the first surgery and reoperation. Cox regression analysis was used to estimate the risk of reoperation at different ages. The hazard ratio of reoperation in children undergoing exotropia surgery according to the age at the first exotropia surgery.
resultsAmong 2015 children, 312 (15.5%) underwent one or more reoperations. A reoperation was more often performed for recurrent exotropia (n = 231) than for consecutive esotropia (n = 81). The time between the first surgery and reoperation was shorter for reoperation for consecutive esotropia (376 days) than for recurrent exotropia (672 days) (p < 0.001). Younger children showed a higher reoperation hazard ratio than older children (p < 0.001). In reoperation for consecutive esotropia, the patients aged 0-3 years showed a high hazard ratio (2.82; 95% CI, 1.59-5.01).
conclusionChildren undergoing exotropia surgery at a younger age have a higher reoperation rate than those undergoing surgery at an older age.
