Acquired Diplopia in Adults: Heavy Eye Syndrome.
Review in Journal of binocular vision and ocular motility. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Heavy eye syndrome is a condition that results in an acquired, progressive strabismus that is due to extreme myopia and long axial length. The underlying pathogenesis of the condition is due to prolapse of the supero-temporal aspect of the myopic globe causing displacement of the lateral and superior rectus muscles inferiorly and nasally, respectively. Treatments for heavy eye syndrome often target this anatomical defect and seek to re-place the globe within the extraocular muscle cone. This review will discuss current theories of pathogenesis and treatment of heavy eye syndrome.
