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

Purpose: To evaluate the cumulative incidence of strabismus in childhood glaucoma and compare its risk to that in healthy controls. Design: A retrospective clinical cohort study. Participants: Childhood glaucoma patients aged ≤18 years from the TriNetX US Collaborative Network. Methods: Patients were identified using the International Classification of Diseases Ninth and 10th Revision codes. The primary study group included childhood glaucoma patients aged ≤18 years, while the control group consisted of healthy children with no history of ocular disorders. We analyzed the cumulative incidence of strabismus in both primary and secondary glaucoma. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare the risk of strabismus between glaucoma and control groups. A Cox proportional hazards model was employed to identify predictors of strabismus among children with glaucoma. Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was the cumulative incidence of strabismus at 1 and 5 years after glaucoma diagnosis. The secondary outcomes included (1) comparative risk of strabismus between glaucoma and control groups, (2) evaluating the rates of strabismus surgery in the glaucoma cohort, and (3) identifying the risk factors associated with strabismus development in the glaucoma group. Results: The study group included 12 637 patients, with a mean age at glaucoma diagnosis of 3.81 ± 4.44 years in the primary glaucoma group and 5.18 ± 4.40 years for the secondary glaucoma group. The cumulative incidence of strabismus in primary glaucoma was 9.19% at 1 year and 18.89% at 5 years. In secondary glaucoma, the cumulative incidence was 20.40% at 1 year and 31.39% at 5 years. After PSM, the 5-year risk of strabismus was significantly higher in the glaucoma group compared with controls (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 7.95; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.67-11.14; Conclusions: Childhood glaucoma is associated with a significantly increased risk of developing strabismus compared with healthy controls. Within the glaucoma group, younger age (in secondary glaucoma), nystagmus, amblyopia, and glaucoma surgery were all associated with an increased risk of strabismus.
