1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 compare the results of bilateral medial rectus recession (BMRc) versus bilateral medial rectus recession with Faden operation (BMRF) in the treatment of large-angle infantile esotropia. STUDY

designA double blinded, parallel, randomized controlled trial.

methodsPatients with large-angle infantile esotropia (≥ 60 prism diopters, [PD]) aged between 3 and 15 years old were included and assigned to either the BMRc or BMRF group. Mean difference and mean reduction of angle deviation between the two groups were compared at 1 week, 1, 3, and 6 months by using generalized estimating equations analysis. Surgical success rates, defined as an esodeviation ≤ 10 PD at near fixation, were evaluated at 6 months postoperatively. Complications from the surgical procedures were observed.

resultsOf 40 enrolled patients, the mean (SD) age of the patients in the BMRc group was 3.4 (1.9), and in the BMRF group, 5.2 (3.8) years old. The overall mean differences of angle reduction between both groups were not significant (-6 PD, 95%CI -14 to 2, P = .12). The surgical success rate at 6 months in the BMRF group (72%) was not different compared to BMRc group (84%, P = .45). Overall consecutive exotropia was 5%, not different between groups (P > .99). There was no difference of complications between the two groups (P = .51).

conclusionBMRF and BMRc approaches show no difference in treatment of large-angle infantile esotropia. Nevertheless, a long-term assessment for consecutive exotropia should be considered for both surgical procedures.
