Surgery for Esotropia in a Case of Nanophthalmos.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Nanophthalmos, characterized by an abnormally small ocular globe, presents significant challenges in the management of strabismus due to its unique anatomical constraints. This detailed case report highlights the intricacies and outcomes of strabismus surgery in a patient with nanophthalmos, providing valuable insights into the surgical considerations and adaptations required for this rare condition. The subject of this case, a young girl diagnosed with esotropia and high hyperopia, underwent unilateral medial rectus muscle recession in an attempt to correct her esotropia. Despite the careful surgical approach and postoperative management, a two-year follow-up revealed a limited response to the intervention, with improvements in visual acuity but continued presence of esotropia and lack of stereopsis development. This case sheds light on several key considerations in the surgical treatment of strabismus in nanophthalmos patients, including the potential for reduced surgical effectiveness due to the small globe size, the importance of accurate preoperative assessment, and the challenges in predicting surgical outcomes. Additionally, it discusses the implications of these findings for future surgical planning, the potential need for revision surgeries, and the broader research context, emphasizing the necessity for a deeper understanding of the biomechanical and anatomical particularities of nanophthalmos in the context of strabismus surgery. The report concludes with recommendations for improving surgical strategies and patient outcomes, advocating for more comprehensive studies and a tailored approach to treating strabismus in individuals with nanophthalmos.
