Surgical Management of a Prominent Adduction-Induced Upshoot in Duane Retraction Syndrome Type III: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) with good primary gaze alignment and no abnormal head posture is often managed conservatively to avoid worsening alignment. However, surgical intervention may be considered when significant cosmetic concerns are present. We present the case of a 29-year-old male patient with type III DRS of the right eye and a prominent upshoot. Despite having good primary gaze alignment, the patient desired cosmetic improvement. Forced duction testing revealed restrictions in multiple directions. Based on the spring-back balance test, we performed an 8.0 mm recession of the lateral rectus muscle and a 6.0 mm recession with partial nasal transposition of the superior rectus muscle. One year postoperatively, the vertical deviation had improved to 8 prism diopters (PD) at distance and 12 PD at near. The upshoot was significantly reduced, and there were no new limitations or diplopia. The patient achieved cosmetic satisfaction. Combined lateral and superior rectus recession effectively reduced an adduction-induced upshoot in DRS type III. Surgery may be considered for patients with good primary gaze alignment and significant cosmetic concerns.
