Masquerading Superior Oblique Palsy.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeWe evaluated patients with hypertropia compatible with a diagnosis of superior oblique (SO) palsy to ascertain whether the 3-step test (3ST) can distinguish SO atrophy characteristic of trochlear nerve pathology from masquerading conditions.
designProspective cross-sectional study.
methodsIn an academic practice, we performed quasi-coronal plane, surface coil magnetic resonance imaging in 83 patients clinically diagnosed with SO palsy. We evaluated alignment, SO cross-sectional area, SO contractility, and rectus muscle pulley positions.
resultsA total of 57 patients with mean age 39 years (SD = 21 years) had unilateral SO palsy manifested by SO atrophy (22 congenital and 35 acquired). There was normal SO size in 26 patients with an average age of 39 years (SD =16 years) considered masquerades (8 congenital and 18 acquired). Maximum palsied SO cross-section averaged 9.5 ± 3.8 mm
conclusionsThe 3ST pattern characteristic of unilateral SO palsy may be mimicked in all respects by masquerades.
