Combined recession-resection in the management of paralytic strabismus: simplification of the complex (a case report).

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
Oculomotor nerve palsy presents the greatest challenge in clinical treatment among the other cranial nerves that innervate extraocular muscle. With a complex technique of periosteal fixation using Callahan suture commonly used, a simpler and more effective technique is demanded to be proven. Here we present a case of paralytic exotropia due to oculomotor nerve palsy on a 32-year-old male along with evidence supporting our decision of surgical management. A 32-year-old male with a chief complaint of squint in both eyes was examined at an outpatient eye clinic. The patient had congenital isolated partial oculomotor nerve palsy and the examination revealed severe ptosis on both eyes with 40 prism diopter exotropia and no limitation in the forced duction test. The patient's posterior segment examination showed normal results, and a diagnosis of bilateral paralytic exotropia due to isolated partial oculomotor nerve palsy was considered. The patient underwent a 7.5 mm rectus lateral recession with a 6 mm rectus medial resection on his right eye, with a promising result after a 3-week follow-up. When treating paralytic strabismus resulting from isolated oculomotor nerve palsy, a combination of medial rectus resection and lateral rectus recession yields good results and long-term stability.
