The effect of strabismus surgery on the quality of life in children and adolescents.

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
purposeWe aimed to examine the effect of strabismus surgery on quality of life levels in children and adolescents.
methodsThe Health-Related Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 (HRQOL 4.0), consisting of 23 questions and 4 subscales (physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, and school problems), was administered to the children and adolescents who underwent strabismus surgery and their parents between December 2024 and June 2025, at preoperative and postoperative 1st and 3rd months. The postoperative deviation angle of the cases was 10 Prism Diopter (PD) or less. Strabismus surgery was performed by an Ophthalmologist, and the scales were evaluated by a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.
results27 cases were included in our study. 17 (62.9%) of the cases were girls and 10 (37.1%) were boys. The average age was 9.0 ± 3.9 (7-17) . In child and adolescents, the change in the physical functionality parameters of the cases was not statistically significant (p >0.05), but the change in the parameters of emotional functionality, social functionality and school-related problems between the preoperative, postoperative 1st month and postoperative 3rd month was statistically significant (p < 0.05). In the parents' proxy opinion of the child, the change in physical functionality, emotional functionality, social functionality parameters between preoperative, postoperative 1st month and postoperative 3rd month was statistically significant (p < 0.05), but in the parameters of school-related problems, preoperative, postoperative 1st month and postoperative 3rd month were statistically significant. The change between was not statistically significant(p >0.05) (Table 2).
conclusionSuccessful surgery for strabismus results in measurable improvement in the quality of life in children and adolescents and in the parents proxy opinion of the child's quality of life.
