Long-term ocular sequelae in preterm Thai infants: A comprehensive retrospective study.
Observational study in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Prematurity can lead to various ocular conditions, including strabismus, refractive errors, amblyopia, and cataracts. However, comprehensive data on these outcomes in preterm Thai infants is limited. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and assess long-term ocular sequelae, such as cataracts, refractive errors, strabismus, and amblyopia, among preterm infants at Phramongkutklao Hospital. A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for premature infants screened for ROP between January 2011 and April 2022. Data were collected at birth, and follow-up visits were analyzed at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years of age. The primary outcomes included the incidence of ROP and the prevalence of long-term ocular sequelae. A total of 308 preterm infants were included in the study. The incidence of ROP was found to be 31.5%. At the 2-year follow-up, the prevalence of cataracts was 0.65%, strabismus 14.4%, and amblyopia 6%. Refractive errors were observed in 51.8% of the infants, with 18.1% showing myopia and 33.7% hyperopia. Logistic regression analysis indicated that delayed growth and development (adjusted odds ratio = 13.28, 95% confidence interval: 1.83-96.68) and amblyopia (adjusted odds ratio = 19.65, 95% confidence interval: 2.85-135.54) were significantly associated with an increased risk of developing strabismus, after adjusting for confounding factors. The study identified an ROP incidence of 31.5% in the preterm cohort. At 2 years, long-term ocular sequelae included a prevalence of cataracts (0.65%), strabismus (14.4%), amblyopia (6%), and refractive errors (51.8%). Delayed growth and development, along with amblyopia, were found to elevate the risk of strabismus development significantly.
