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
purposeTo investigate clinical features of intermittent exotropia (IXT) according to fusional control status from the Korean Intermittent Exotropia Multicenter Study (KIEMS).
methodsA total of 2715 IXT participants from the KIEMS dataset were included in this study. We collected age, sex, best corrected visual acuity in LogMAR (BCVA), cycloplegic refraction data, exotropia angle and fusional control status, and near stereoacuity. Exotropia types were classified into basic, convergence insufficiency (CI) and divergence excess (DE) types. Distributions of exotropia type and sex according to fusional control status were investigated. Age, BCVA, spherical equivalents, exotropia angle and near stereoacuity were compared according to fusional control status.
resultsFemale to male ratio was 1316 (48.5%) to 1399 (51.5%). Mean age of the participants was 9.4 ± 6.4 years. Mean exotropia angle was 22.5 ± 8.8 and 24.8 ± 9.4 prism diopters at distant and near fixation. Fusional control status was better in CI at distant and DE at near (P = 0.002, 0.021 each). Distant and near exotropia angle were larger in patients with worse distant and near control (P < 0.001). Near stereoacuity was also worse in patients with worse distant and near control (P < 0.001). Good distant control patients had more myopic SE (P < 0.001). Poor near control patients showed worse BCVA and larger BCVA difference (P < 0.001).
conclusionFusional control was highly associated with exotropia type and angle, near stereoacuity, and visual acuity. Near fusional control was associated with mean and difference of BCVA in both eyes.
