Y-splitting medial rectus muscle and recession in treatment for convergence excess esotropia.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2022. 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 evaluate the surgical outcome of medial rectus (MR) recession with Y-splitting procedure in treatment of esotropia with convergence excess.
methodsMedical records were retrospectively reviewed for those patients who underwent surgical treatment for their convergence excess esotropia (CEET) between January 2018 and December 2020. Refractive error was examined by the equipment of the VS100 (Welch Allyn). The surgical approach was bilateral MR recession with Y-splitting. The amount of recession was calculated according to the deviation angle at distance. Ocular movement and ocular alignment at distance and near were evaluated pre- and post-operatively. Binocular sensory status was evaluated by the Bagolini striated glasses at near and distance, and by stereoacuity assessment at near using the Titmus test.
resultsSix patients with CEET were included in this study. Four of them were hyperopia and two of them were myopia. A mean of eso-deviation angle at distance had been changed from 27.3±13.02 prism diopters (PD) preoperatively to 1.83±1.60 PD postoperatively (
conclusionThe surgical approach of Y-splitting MR and recession is effective in treatment of CEET.
