Health-related quality of life of children with strabismus.
Article in Acta ophthalmologica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThe agreement between children with strabismus and their parents on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of the child is unknown. Additionally, it is unknown if physical traits pre-dispose to a better outcome in HRQOL after strabismus surgery in children. This study aims to aid strabismus surgeons in deciding which children will improve HRQOL following strabismus surgery.
methodsWe included 114 Danish children who underwent strabismus surgery for their strabismus and 29 controls without ophthalmologic manifestations. Each child and their parent answered questionnaires about the child's eye- and general health. We compared eye-specific, psychosocial and physical scores in children pre- and post-operatively with controls. We also investigated child-parent (proxy) agreement and whether sex, age and strabismus type were associated with improvement in HRQOL after surgery.
resultsChildren with strabismus scored themselves lower on eye-related HRQOL questions than their parents scored them (p = 0.01). Children with strabismus had similar improvements in HRQOL after surgery independent of age, sex, use of glasses and type of strabismus. Children with strabismus scored lower across all questionnaires on HRQOL even after surgery compared to controls (eye specific, p < 0.001; PedsQL psychosocial = 0.006).
conclusionStrabismus surgery in children improved their quality of life regardless of sex, age, wearing glasses or strabismus type. The surgeon should be aware of potential discrepancies in perception of the HRQOL of the child, between the child and their parent when making their assessment.
