Reliability of Time Domain AS-OCT in Measuring the Extraocular Rectus Muscle Insertion-Limbus Distances: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review 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. 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
Purpose: The insertion-limbus distances of the extraocular muscles are clinically relevant in the preoperative planning of strabismus surgeries, especially in reoperations when information regarding insertion sites is not accessible to the surgeon. In this systematic review, we assess the reliability of time-domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (TD AS-OCT) in determining insertion-limbus distances preoperatively by investigating prior studies that compare preoperative TD AS-OCT measurements of the insertion-limbus distances to those of calipers, which are assumed to be the gold standard. Methods: Systematically reviewing EMBASE, PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Web of Science, 2 members screened for studies that compared preoperative TD AS-OCT measurements to those of intraoperative calipers, the gold standard. To assess the risk of bias for individual studies, the reviewers utilized the ROBINS-I tool, a Cochrane's collaboration tool used to assess bias in studies that are not randomized. For the meta-analysis, parallel forms reliability was examined and estimated as the Pearson product-moment correlation between TD AS-OCT measurements and surgical caliper measurements. Results: Six out of the seven eligible studies provided measures of reliability that were >0.7. These six records were eligible for meta-analysis. There was no evidence of a difference between means of TD AS-OCT and caliper measurements ( = 6.81, 95% CI [6.41, 7.22]; = 6.73, 95% CI [6.18, 7.29]; = 0.08, 95% CI [-0.44, 0.61]). Reliability was estimated to be good ( = 0.91) though the lower limit was slightly below the recommended minimum acceptable level of 0.70 (95% CI [0.65, >0.99]). Conclusion: In the setting of primary surgeries, TD AS-OCT has an acceptable reliability. However, there is insufficient data to conclude whether TD AS-OCT has an acceptable reliability in the setting of reoperations.
