Surgical effect of lateral rectus muscle paralysis: a case series study.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aims to assess the surgical outcomes of lateral rectus muscle paralysis patients who received superior rectus transposition (SRT) surgery or SRT with augmented suture (SRTA).
methodsThis case series study enrolled 11 lateral rectus muscle paralysis patients who underwent SRT or SRTA from April 2014 to June 2022 at Wuhan Bright Eye Hospital. Preoperative and postoperative assessments included the following parameters: (1) eye position in primary gaze; (2) ocular motility; (3) presence of diplopia; and (4) compensatory head positioning.
resultsSix cases received SRT, and 5 cases received SRTA. Preoperative esodeviation showed a mean angle of + 57.27 ± 9.62 prism diopters (PD), and the angle reduced to + 7.45 ± 2.70, + 6.36 ± 2.67, and + 3.09 ± 3.34 PD at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, respectively. At postoperative 12 months, 10 out of 11 cases achieved a significant reduction in internal oblique deviation, resulting in the elimination of abnormal head positioning and initial eye position diplopia. The range of motion of the affected eye was also improved by the surgical procedure, significantly enhancing the external rotation compared to preoperative values. No significant vertical or torsional strabismus was observed after surgery. Stable eye positions and remarkable treatment outcomes were revealed by follow-up evaluations conducted between 12 and 18 months postoperatively.
conclusionsInternal rectus migration combined with transposition of the superior rectus muscle may be feasible for treating lateral rectus muscle paralysis. The eye position, abduction function, and binocular vision function were improved in patients who received SRT or SRTA.
