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

purposeTo examine postoperative outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery to determine the potential impact of socioeconomic disparities on ophthalmic outcomes.

methodsThis study included 284 children undergoing strabismus surgery at a tertiary institution with at least 11 months of follow-up and no prior strabismus surgery or other neurologic or ophthalmologic conditions. Demographics, insurance, operative parameters, and appointments scheduled/attended were collected via chart review. Ocular alignment was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 3, 12, and 24 months. Two-sided

resultsThere was no difference in failure rates between patients with Medicaid and patients with private insurance 24 months postoperatively (45.9% vs 50.5%, respectively,

conclusionsThere was no difference in failure rates between patients with Medicaid and patients with private insurance. Medicaid status was significantly predictive of loss to follow-up.
