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.

Abstract
purposeEvaluation of asymmetrical and symmetrical horizontal strabismus surgery as regards efficacy and postoperative lateral gaze incomitance. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis prospective comparative interventional case series study included 40 patients of age more than 3 years with alternating horizontal strabismus. Patients were divided according to the type of horizontal deviation into esotropia and exotropia groups, which were further subdivided into asymmetrical and symmetrical subgroups in each type. The surgery was defined as symmetrical procedure if the surgery was done on the same muscle in the two eyes and it was defined as asymmetric in recess-resect procedures in one eye, and three horizontal muscles surgery. Preoperative and postoperative measurements were done in primary position, right, and left gaze using alternate prism cover test and hand-held orthopedic goniometer.
resultsAt the end of follow-up period, a statistically insignificant difference (P value = 0.8057) was present in the success rate between the asymmetrical and symmetrical subgroups of esotropia (90 and 86.67%, respectively) and it was 100% in both exotropia subgroups. Lateral gaze incomitance results were different between esotropia and exotropia subgroups. In esotropia, a statistically significant difference was reported at 1 month (0.009), which became insignificant at 6 months (0.077) and 12 months (0.077) between asymmetrical and symmetrical subgroups. In exotropia subgroups, there was a statistically insignificant difference in lateral gaze incomitance at 1, 6, and 12 months (P = 1).
conclusionAsymmetrical procedure had the same efficacy and success rate of symmetrical procedure for the correction of concomitant horizontal deviations in primary gaze without persistent postoperative lateral gaze incomitance, especially in exotropia. CLINICAL
