Differences in the corrective effects of vertical transposition accompanied by recession-resection of the horizontal rectus muscles for complicated vertical deviation.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesTo investigate whether the corrective effect differs between upward and downward transpositions or between exotropia and esotropia in vertical transposition accompanied by horizontal rectus muscle recession-resection. SUBJECTS/
methodsThis prospective study investigated 41 patients with concomitant exotropia or esotropia with small-angle vertical deviation who underwent unilateral vertical transposition accompanied by horizontal rectus muscle recession-resection and were followed up for 1 year postoperatively. We analysed the vertical deviation corrective effect, defined as the corrective amount per displacement distance (°/tendon width [TW]). We compared the corrective effects between upward and downward transpositions and between exotropia and esotropia. Additionally, we investigated the correlation between the corrective effect and the studied parameters.
resultsThe 1-year vertical corrective effect was 5.2 ± 4.6° (9.0 ± 8.1 prism dioptres [Δ])/TW. The 1-year vertical corrective effect of upward transposition (7.9 ± 4.0° [13.8 ± 7.0Δ]/TW) was higher than that of the downward transposition (3.9 ± 4.4° [6.8 ± 7.7Δ]/TW, P = 0.009). In contrast, upward and downward transposition did not differ between exotropia and esotropia (P = 0.62). Multivariate analyses revealed that the 1-year vertical corrective effect correlated with the vertical transposition direction (upward or downward) and preoperative vertical deviation but did not correlate with the disease type (exotropia or esotropia). The 1-year motor success (vertical deviation ≤ 5Δ) rate was 89%.
conclusionThe vertical corrective effect of vertical transposition accompanied by horizontal rectus muscle recession-resection is greater in upward transposition than in downward transposition; however, it does not differ between exotropia and esotropia.
