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

Accessory extraocular muscles are rare abnormal structures that attach to the posterior globe, resulting in atypical limitations of eye movement and enophthalmos. We present herein the case of a 12-year-old girl with severe esotropia and restricted abduction in the right eye, who was found to have an accessory extraocular muscle on MRI. The patient underwent a successful surgery, and a comparison of pre- and postoperative MRIs showed improvement in the right eye's position and release of the abnormal structure in the orbit. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case comparing pre- and postoperative MRI findings of an accessory extraocular muscle.
