Prevalence of strabismus among school going children in India.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Children with strabismus (crossed eyes" or "squint) may have functional issues with reading and other academic activities, possibly resulting in reduction of overall academic achievement. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the prevalence of strabismus and its role with total of 995 students randomly divided between rural and urban area during camp with their relative histories, screen time, outdoor activity, reading time and ocular examination. We found difference for all the variables with no statistical significance. Hence, it is essential to monitor these children closely and intervene before their situation deteriorates to prevent this condition from adversely affecting their vision or academic performance.
