1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 investigate the characteristics of esotropia associated with hyperopia in children aged 4 to 6 years.

methodsMedical charts of 142 patients (60 boys and 82 girls; age range, 4-6 years) with esotropia and hyperopia (≥1.5 diopters after cycloplegic refraction) were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were classified into four groups: (1) fully corrected accommodative esotropia (FCAET); (2) accommodative esotropia (AET) with residual deviation ≤8 prism diopters; (3) partially AET (PAET) with residual deviation ≥10 prism diopters; and (4) nonaccommodative esotropia (NAET). Clinical parameters, including best-corrected visual acuity, angle of esodeviation, and refractive errors, were analyzed to identify predictors of esodeviation type.

resultsFemale patients were significantly more likely to achieve good control with glasses (p = 0.044). Visual acuity in the better and worse eyes and the prevalence of anisometropic amblyopia did not differ among groups (p = 0.430, p = 0.124, and p = 0.189, respectively). The hyperopia (spherical power) of the AET group was significantly higher than that of the NAET group (p = 0.028), and the spherical equivalent was also more hyperopic in the AET group compared with the NAET group (p = 0.040). Near esodeviation in the FCAET group was significantly smaller than that in the AET group (p = 0.003), whereas esodeviation at distance did not differ among groups (p = 0.115).

conclusionsLarger angles of esodeviation and lower degrees of hyperopia were associated with a reduced likelihood of successful correction with glasses. Multiple factors should therefore be considered when predicting motor outcomes of accommodative esotropia prior to a trial of spectacle correction.
