Sliding shape extraocular muscle transposition with plication: Long-term results.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2021. 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
aimThis study aims to evaluate the long-term results of sliding shape extraocular muscle transposition, which is a novel operation method of delivering both vascular protection and strengthening of the muscles and transposition of the muscles.
methodsThe patients' files were scanned retrospectively. All patients underwent a complete eye examination in addition to motility examination, both preoperatively and postoperatively. Patients were followed up for at least 1 year. Pre- and postoperative deviation measurement values and transposition effects were compared statistically. The two parameters were evaluated separately.
resultsIn patients where 7-mm (or greater) resection was planned, the complete muscle widening transposition procedure was successful. Only two-thirds of transpositions could be achieved in patients who underwent less than 7 mm of strengthening. There was no anterior segment ischemia in the patients who underwent three rectus' muscle surgery in the same eye. Transposition effects were perfect in those whose vertical deviation was not due to monocular elevation deficiency. While resection effect was excellent in those MED (monocular elevation deficiency) and CEOMF (congenital extraocular muscle fibrosis) cases, transposition effects were limited but found at similar rates as with the standard resection and transposition procedures in CCDD (congenital cranial dis-innervation diseases) (R2-1).
conclusionEven transposition effects were limited in CCDD. 'Sliding shape' design extraocular muscle plication was found to be a simple, safe, and effective procedure for patients who needed resection and transposition operation.
