1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Over the past two decades, strabismus research has evolved significantly, driven by innovations in AI-assisted diagnostics, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and a heightened focus on psychosocial outcomes and systemic disease linkages. This bibliometric analysis of 4,515 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection (2004-2023) maps global research trends, identifying the United States of America (USA), China, and the United Kingdom (UK) as leading contributors. A keyword co-occurrence analysis highlights a shift toward innovative treatments, including non-surgical interventions, and highlights the growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches that integrate clinical practice with psychological and social dimensions of strabismus. In conclusion, this bibliometric review provides a comprehensive overview of current strabismus research and identifies key areas for further investigation, serving as a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians aiming to advance the field.
