Slanted recession on bilateral lateral rectus for the treatment of intermittent Exotropia with convergence insufficiency.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession (S-BLRc) for the treatment of convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia (CI-IXT) in children and to probe the relationship of the slanted amount and surgical outcomes.
methodsRetrospective study. Fifty-eight patients with CI-IXT, aged 4 to 10 years old, underwent S-BLRc procedures. According to the different slanted amount between the upper and lower poles of lateral rectus, all the patients were grouped: Group A (slanting 1 mm, n = 22), Group B (slanting 1.5 mm, n = 18) and Group C (slanting 2 mm, n = 18). The successful surgical outcome was defined as deviation in the primary position ranging from exotropia< 8
resultsThe average deviations were significantly decreased from - 37.1
conclusionsSlanted bilateral lateral rectus recession is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of CI-IXT in children. S-BLRc can successfully collapse exotropia both at distance and at near, decrease NDD and benefit to gain binocular vision. The correction of NDD was associated with the slanted amount.
