Varied presentations of congenital ocular synkinesis: do they all fit congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder spectrum?
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de oftalmologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeSynkinesis results from nerve miswirings and causes aberrant movements of the affected muscles. We present a series of cases of rare congenital ocular synkinesis involving the extraocular muscles and the levator palpebrae superioris and speculate the possibility of classifying these entities in the spectrum of congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder.
methodsRecords of patients with the diagnosis of congenital ocular synkinesis were analyzed retrospectively. We analyzed the sex, laterality, and complete features of the ocular motility of each patient.
resultsNine patients with congenital ocular synkinesis were included. A slight predominance of women was noted. In terms of laterality, four patients had only the right eye involved, four had only the left eye, and one had both eyes involved. Notably, 55.5% were orthotropic in the primary position. The third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerves were involved in the miswiring in 100%, 44.4%, and 11.1% of the cases, respectively.
conclusionsCongenital synkinesis might present in a very eclectic and uncommon fashion. The aberrant innervation in these cases classifies them into the group of congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders.
