Non-surgical treatment of strabismus in children: a review of recent advances.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pediatric strabismus is a progressive condition that, in the early stages, presents as either esotropia or intermittent or constant exotropia when both eyes focus on the same target. If not promptly addressed, the child's ocular accommodative convergence and fusion abilities will gradually weaken, ultimately affecting visual function and causing various inconveniences in daily life and learning. For children with mild strabismus, those who are young, have poor cooperation, or are awaiting surgery for a long time, non-surgical treatment is a good option. It offers high safety, ease of use, and has certain effects in alleviating strabismus symptoms and improving visual function. However, there are multiple non-surgical treatment options, and currently, clinical practice lacks clear consensus on which approach is best. The choice and implementation of treatment methods still need to be determined based on the specific situation, such as the child's age and type of strabismus. In recent years, with the deepening of ophthalmological research, non-surgical treatment methods have been enriched, including a combination of visual training, occlusion therapy, and corrective glasses, which have shown certain clinical effects. This article will review the non-surgical treatment options for pediatric strabismus, explore current research progress, and discuss future development directions.
