Risk of consecutive esotropia after surgery for intermittent exotropia according to passive duction force.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo determine the relationship between consecutive esotropia (ET) and passive duction force (PDF) in patients with intermittent exotropia (XT).
methodsThe study enrolled 70 patients in whom PDF was measured under general anesthesia prior to XT surgery. The preferred eye for fixation (PE) and the nonpreferred eye for fixation (NPE) were determined using a cover-uncover test. The patients were subdivided into two groups according to the angle of deviation at 1 month postoperation: (1) consecutive ET (CET group), >10 prism diopters (PD) of ET; and (2) non-CET (NCET group), ≤10 ET or residual exodeviation. The relative PDF of the medial rectus muscle (MRM) was obtained by subtracting the ipsilateral PDF of the lateral rectus muscle (LRM) from the PDF of the MRM.
resultsThe PDFs for the LRM in the PE in the CET and NCET groups were 47.28 g and 58.59 g, respectively (p = 0.147), and 56.18 g and 46.59 g for the MRM (p = 0.11), and in the NPE were 59.84 g and 55.25 g, respectively, for the LRM (p = 0.993), and 49.12 g and 50.53 g, respectively, for the MRM (p = 0.81). However, in the PE, the PDF in the MRM was larger in the CET group than in the NCET group (p = 0.045), which was positively associated with the postoperatively overcorrected angle of deviation (p = 0.017).
conclusionsAn increased relative PDF in the MRM in the PE was a risk factor for consecutive ET after XT surgery. Quantitative evaluation of the PDF could be considered when planning strabismus surgery to achieve the desired surgical outcome.
