1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo explore the utility of eye tracking glasses in patients with intermittent exotropia as a means for quantifying the occurrence of exotropia, defined as the percentage of time that the eyes are misaligned.

designProspective observational study.

methodsEye tracking glasses were used to obtain 68 recordings in 44 ambulatory patients with a history of intermittent exotropia. Vergence angle was monitored for up to 12 hours to document the occurrence of exotropia.

resultsIntermittent exotropia was present in 31 of 44 patients. They had a mean exotropia of 19.3 ± 5.3° and a mean occurrence of 40% (range 3-99%). There was a moderate correlation between the magnitude of exotropia and its occurrence (r = 0.59). In 13 patients the occurrence of exotropia was <1%; they were deemed to have an exophoria only. In 35 of 44 cases, families reported an occurrence of intermittent exotropia greater than that measured by the eye tracking glasses.

conclusionsEye tracking glasses may be a useful tool for quantifying the severity of intermittent exotropia and for defining more precisely its clinical features.
