Changes in retinal and choroidal blood flow after one or two horizontal rectus muscle surgeries by optical coherence tomography angiography.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2023. 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
purposeTo evaluate the retinal and choroidal microvasculature after one or two horizontal rectus muscle surgeries in strabismus patients using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
methods30 eyes of 26 patients who underwent horizontal rectus muscle surgery were included in this study. Group A, A' and Group B , B' respectively consisted preoperative and postoperative measurements of patients who underwent one or two horizontal rectus muscle surgeries. We analyzed the vessel density (VD) of the superficial vascular complex (SVC), the deep vascular complex (DVC), the choriocapillary layer (CC), choroidal vascular index (CVI), choroidal thickness (T-Ch) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (T-RNFL) preoperatively, and one week postoperatively.
resultsOnly in the nasal sector of the perifoveal zone, the VD in SVC demonstrated a significant increase in Group A' (
conclusionThis study revealed that the increase in choroidal thickness was more significant after two rectus muscle surgery. In addition, there were microvascular changes in sectional macular regions after strabismus surgery. OCTA is an excellent way to study the impact of strabismus surgery on the macular structure and blood flow.
