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

Strabismus is prevalent among preterm infants of low gestational age and birth weight in Southeast Asian countries, with intermittent exotropia (IXT) being the most common type in South Korea. In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, we investigated the differences between full-term and premature infants with IXT. IXT patients with available childbirth history were divided into two groups: preterm vs. full-term and low birth weight (LBW) vs. normal birth weight (NBW). Parameters related to exotropia including parental heredity, surgical history, and treatment options were investigated. In univariate regression for gestational age, a result of ≥ 100 s in the Titmus test was 1.352 times more frequent in preterm than in full-term infants. When birth weight was considered instead, a result of ≥ 100 s in the Titmus test was 1.412 times more frequent in the LBW compared to the NBW group. In multivariate regression for birth weight, the frequency of a result of ≥ 100 s in the Titmus test for the LBW group was 2.032 times higher than that for the NBW group. It is particularly important to examine stereopsis in preterm and LBW patients affected by IXT to ensure timely surgical planning and avoid potential recurrence after surgery.
