Extra Ocular Muscle Fenestration as a Weakening Maneuver for Surgical Management of Strabismus: A Randomized Pilot Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07373197 (Lateral Rectus Muscle Strangulation), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fenestration in comparison to the classic muscle recession as a weakening maneuver to horizontal and vertical extra ocular muscles in the surgical management of strabismus. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a pilot single blind parallel group randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation ratio. Male or female patients aged 1- to 60-years-old who were admitted to the Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Department for surgical correction of horizontal or vertical strabismus. Patients were randomly allocated by the envelop method to either group 1 (muscle fenestration, N=9) or group 2 (classic muscle recession, N=9). All participants were assessed at the first post operative day, at one week, and one month after the surgery for the outcomes.
resultsPostoperative ocular alignment evaluated at the first day, one week, and one month following the operation showed comparable results with no significant differences between both groups (p>0.05). The median postoperative pain score evaluated at the first day following the operation was significantly higher in fenestration group than recession group (the medians were 2.0 and 1.0, respectively, p=0.014). Alternatively, the medians of the pain score were equal in both groups at one week and one month postoperatively (p>0.999). One patient in the fenestration group developed progressive subconjunctival hemorrhage. In contrast, there was no postoperative complications in the recession group (p>0.999).
conclusionEfficacy and safety of muscle fenestration for correcting horizontal or vertical strabismus was comparable to the classic muscle recession.
