Screening of Clinical Data of Patients with Abnormal Head Posture and Investigation of Abnormal Head Posture Change After Treatment.
Article in Turkish journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with abnormal head posture (AHP) due to ocular causes and investigate the effect of treatment on the change in AHP. Materials and Methods: Patients with AHP admitted to the strabismus unit of our clinic between 2011 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients' clinical and demographic data and change in AHP after treatment were recorded. Results: A total of 172 patients, 86 females (50%) and 86 males (50%), with a mean age of 14.1±13.9 years were included in the study. The most common ocular causes of AHP were fourth cranial nerve palsy (50%), Duane retraction syndrome (16.9%), and A-V pattern strabismus (15.1%). Sixth cranial nerve palsy, third cranial nerve palsy, nystagmus blockade syndrome, extraocular muscle fibrosis, Brown syndrome, oculocutaneous albinism, and heavy eye syndrome were diagnosed less frequently. The most common AHP type was head tilted position (52.3%), followed by head turned (40.1%), chin down/up (3.5%), and combined form (4.1%). There was a significant relationship between AHP type and diagnosis (p<0.001). Amblyopia was present in 55 (35.7%) and absent in 99 (64.3%) patients. There was a significant relationship between amblyopia and both diagnosis (p<0.001) and AHP type (p=0.003). Of 172 patients, 100 (58.1%) underwent strabismus surgery, 10 (5.8%) had botulinum toxin injection, and 2 (1.2%) were prescribed prism glasses. Sixty patients (34.9%) were only followed up. Among 94 patients who continued follow-up, AHP was reduced in 77.3% and completely resolved in 16.7% of patients treated surgically, and was reduced in 50% and completely resolved in 25% of those treated with botulinum toxin. Conclusion: The causes of AHP are varied. Ophthalmological and orthoptic examinations should be performed in patients presenting with AHP, and strabismus surgery or botulinum toxin administration may reduce or completely correct AHP in eligible patients.
