Quantitative analysis of ocular deviation under eye occlusion: a descriptive study using the ORTe EYENAC eye-tracking system.
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
backgroundThe cover-uncover test is traditionally used in the qualitative assessment of heterotropia and heterophoria, while the alternate prism cover test (APCT) quantifies ocular deviations. However, the APCT is time-consuming and prone to interexaminer variability. Video-oculography technology offers a promising alternative for quantifying ocular deviation under occlusion. This study aims to visualize ocular deviation during occlusion and determine the time it takes for deviation to stabilize in participants with exodeviation using the ORTe EYENAC eye-tracking system.
methodsThe study participants included 15 university students aged 20-22 years, among whom 13 had exophoria, 1 had intermittent exotropia, and 1 had exotropia. Eye position was measured using the ORTe EYENAC, which records gaze when one eye is occluded. Data were fitted to a logistic function to estimate ocular deviations, deviation speed, and stabilization time. The overshoot depth was defined as the maximum deviation beyond the final position before stabilization. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analyzed the correlations between the deviation angle, speed, and stabilization time.
resultsThe fusion-free eye position stabilized at 3.33 ± 2.39 s among those with exophoria. Significant correlations were found between the deviation angle and deviation speed (r
conclusionsOcular deviation under occlusion was effectively visualized in participants with exodeviation using the ORTe EYENAC, providing a clear representation of eye movement during the cover test. Among participants with exophoria, the fusion-free eye position stabilized at an average of 3.33 ± 2.39 s. However, the stabilization time varied with the angle of ocular deviation, suggesting that the occlusion time needs to be individually designed based on the angle of strabismus.
