Dynamic Electrooculography Findings for Medial Rectus Myofascial Release in Esodeviation.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To determine which mechanisms are operative in releasing the extraocular myofascial tissue in response to extraocular myofascial release (EOMR) and to evaluate the effect of EOMR on saccadic velocity and esodeviation angle in patients with convergence spasm. Methods: Fourteen patients with convergence spasm aged 20-35 participated in this research. The treatment included touching the medial rectus and its interrelated fascial tissue with the index finger pulp from over the eyelid for at least 300 s and applying very gentle and uniform pressure. We evaluated the saccadic velocity obtained from dynamic electrooculography (EOG) and the angle of deviation. The findings of dynamic EOG were used as a reliable quantitative method to assess eye movement function. Results: The amount of esodeviation decreased significantly at both far 2.39Δ, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.27-3.52) ( Conclusion: In the short term, the EOMR only affects the static condition of the eye. Therefore, a significant improvement could be seen in the deviometric findings. However, the dynamic properties of the extraocular muscles did not improve and probably needed a more extended treatment period for acting the long-term mechanisms.
