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
purposeTo determine the influence of strabismus and its surgical correction on the preoperative and postoperative functional and psychosocial aspects of patients being treated at the CEROF/UFG Strabismus Outpatient Clinic.
methodsThis prospective cross-sectional study included 27 patients, aged >7 years that were divided into two groups (<18 years and >18 years). The AS 20 questionnaire is composed of two domains (psychosocial and functional). Each domain includes 10 questions, which should be answered using a 5-point Likert scale. The questionnaire was administered preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. In patients aged <18 years, the questionnaire was concurrently administered to their parents and/or guardians.
resultsPreoperatively, the average psychosocial and functional scores were 55 (p=0.01) and 57.5 (p=0.025), respectively, in adults, 70 (p=0.03) and 78.7 (p=0.16), respectively, in children and adolescents, and 46.2 (p=0.002) and 57.5 (p=0.003), respectively, in the parents and/or guardians. Postoperatively, the average psychosocial and functional scores were 80 (p=0.01) and 82.5 (p=0.025), respectively, in adults, 81.2 (p=0.03) and 85 (p=0.16), respectively, in children and adolescents, and 83.7 (p=0.002) and 86.2 (p=0.003), respectively, in parents and/or guardians.
conclusionThe postoperative scores in the psychosocial (p=0.001), functional (p=0.001) and general (p<0.001) domains had increased in all the patients, demonstrating an improvement in the quality of life following strabismus correction surgery.
