Indications and results of exotropia surgical management.
Article in La Tunisie medicale. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo study the clinical particularities and the surgical management of the different forms of exotropia, and to analyze the prognostic factors influencing the surgical result.
methodsMedical records of 132 patients who underwent exotropia surgery from 1995 to 2015, were retrospectively reviewed. Ophthalmological examination and a complete sensorimotor assessment were performed for each patient. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon.
resultsWe had 57 cases of intermittent exotropia (IE), 22 cases of infantile exotropia (IfE), 43 cases of sensory exotropia (SE) and 10 cases of concecutive exotropia (CE). The average age of onset of exotropia was 6.8 years +/- 8 SD. Amblyopia was noted in 36.4% of cases of IfE. The mean deviation angle was 36.5 DP in (IE), 39.6 DP in (IfE) and 44.5 DP in (SE). A vertical syndrome was frequently found in (IfE) patients. Bilateral recession of lateral rectus was the most performed surgery type. The overall success rate after a single surgery was 72%. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that good prognosis factors were the absence of amblyopia, the intermittent form of the strabismus, a low preoperative deviation angle and the ocular alignment on day one postoperatively.
conclusionsIE is the most common divergent strabismus. Surgery resulted in successful alignment in most of the cases. Early management and rigorous analysis of patients sensorimotor status are the best guarantors of long-term success.
