Scleral perforation during posterior scleral fixation: incidence and management strategies.
Article in International 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
purposeTo identify the incidence and clinical outcomes of scleral perforation during posterior fixation suture surgery in strabismus patients.
methodsThis was a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent posterior fixation suture surgery at the Strabismus Unit of Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital between January 2017 and March 2021. Patients with complete ophthalmological records were included. Data collected included surgical indication, visual acuity, and retinal findings. Patients with suspected scleral perforation were evaluated and monitored in collaboration with the vitreoretinal unit.
resultsA total of 152 eyes from 121 patients (67 females, 54 males; mean age: 12.3 ± 16.2 years, range 2-55) were included. Scleral perforation occurred in 6 patients (3%), all during medial rectus muscle surgery. Three of these cases were treated with argon laser photocoagulation, and three were observed without intervention. No cases developed retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, or vitreous hemorrhage. Final best-corrected visual acuity remained stable in all affected patients.
conclusionScleral perforation is an uncommon complication of the posterior fixation suture procedure, with all observed cases limited to medial rectus surgery. Although visual prognosis was favorable, careful intraoperative technique and postoperative monitoring are essential to detect and manage potential complications.
