Effects of basic type of intermittent exotropia on myopic shift in children: a 12-month observational study.

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: To investigate the effect of basic intermittent exotropia (IXT) on myopic shift in children during 12-month follow-up. Methods: 165 children aged 4-15 years were recruited prospectively in this study and divided into 3 groups: Group A, consisted of 64 patients with basic IXT without surgery; Group B, consisted of 51 patients 1-month after IXT-corrected surgery; and Group C, consisted of 50 patients without any form of strabismus. All patients underwent assessments of spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AL), exodeviation, and binocular function relating to accommodation and convergence. Examinations were conducted at baseline and 12-month. SE and AL changes were compared among groups. Univariate and multivariate linear analyses were employed to investigate the association between myopic shift and IXT, as well as other clinical parameters. Results: Three groups showed comparable ages, genders and SEs at baseline (all Conclusions: Children with basic IXT exhibited faster myopia shift compared to those without strabismus. Although surgical correction of strabismus appeared to slow this process, the effect was not statistically significant. Furthermore, greater increase in exodeviation angle was associated with higher rate of SE progression and AL elongation. Trial registration: The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing TongRen Hospital (approved number: TRECKY2020-142, approved date: 2020.10.30).
