Quantitative Evaluation of Changes in Retinal and Choroidal Blood Flow Following Strabismus Surgery.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of extraocular muscle recession performed as part of strabismus surgery on posterior retinal and choroidal blood flow. Methods: A single-center prospective study was conducted on patients who underwent strabismus surgery. Optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, and laser speckle flowgraphy of the macula were performed before surgery and at one week, one month, and four months after surgery. Preoperative and postoperative ratios were calculated, and longitudinal changes in retinal blood flow, choroidal thickness, and choroidal blood flow were analyzed. Furthermore, the changes based on the types of resected muscle were examined. Results: In total, 254 eyes from 127 patients were included. The subfoveal choroidal thickness increased significantly at one week and one month after surgery, with no significant change at four months after surgery. The choroidal blood flow increased significantly at one week after surgery, with no significant changes at one and four months after surgery. The retinal vessel density significantly decreased at one week after surgery, with no significant changes at one and four months after surgery. Analysis of groups that had various muscles excised showed no significant changes in any measurements. Choroidal thickness and blood flow were significantly correlated at one week after surgery. Conclusions: Strabismus surgery decreased retinal blood flow but increased choroidal thickness and blood flow in the early postoperative period. Moreover, no significant changes were observed in the long term compared to the preoperative period. Translational Relevance: Strabismus surgery affects the retina and choroid in the early postoperative period but not in the long term.
