The Incidence and Risk Factors for Dry Eye After Pediatric Strabismus Surgery.
Article in Ophthalmology and therapy, 2023. 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
introductionThis study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors for dry eye after pediatric strabismus surgery.
methodsChildren aged 5-12 years who underwent strabismus surgery were included in this single-center, prospective, cohort study. The ocular surface assessments were conducted 1 day before and 1, 4, and 8 weeks after surgery. The main outcome measures were the incidence of dry eye after strabismus surgery and associated risk factors.
resultsA total of 84 eyes (48 children) that underwent strabismus surgery were included in the study. The mean age at surgery was 7.21 years. The incidence of dry eye was 47.62% at 1 week, 10.71% at 4 weeks, 0% at 8 weeks after surgery. The preoperative tear breakup time (BUT) was lower in the dry eye group than that in the non-dry eye group (P ≤ 0.01). The univariate analysis showed that preoperative BUT was significantly associated with the incidence of dry eye after pediatric strabismus surgery (odds ratio [OR] 0.647, confidence interval [CI] 0.503-0.833, P ≤ 0.01).
conclusionsDry eye commonly occurs after pediatric strabismus surgery. Tear film instability is more common than deficient aqueous tear production in patients with dry eye after surgery. Children with a low preoperative BUT are more likely to develop dry eye after strabismus surgery.
