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

purposeReoperations in strabismus are reportedly needed in 20-40% of cases undergoing surgery. The present study investigated the outcomes of reoperations based on preoperative imaging of extraocular muscle insertions, and whether the Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (ASOCT) was of value.

methodsPatients with strabismus requiring reoperation with/without previous surgical records at the Advanced Eye Centre, PGIMER, Chandigarh were recruited. All patients underwent a thorough clinical examination and imaging of extraocular muscle insertions on the Swept Source Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography. The accuracy of measuring muscle insertions with the ASOCT was compared with intraoperative caliper readings.

resultsForty-seven muscles (28 patients) were imaged on ASOCT with confirmation intraoperatively during re-operation. The mean age of the patients was 21.6 ± 5.6 years. After looking at the imaging findings, the decision of which muscle to operate on changed in eleven patients (39.2%). The accuracy of ASOCT to measure muscle insertion ± 1 mm was seen in 78.7% (38/47 muscles). The ASOCT could give additional information, such as a slipped muscle and stretched scar in three patients.

conclusionsImaging can be beneficial in achieving successful results in strabismus reoperations with high accuracy. It can be pivotal in surgical planning in reoperations (~ 40%).
