Combined bilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus Faden procedure in true divergence excess exotropia: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
True divergence excess, a subtype of intermittent exotropia, presents with a greater exodeviation at distance than at nearby. Its management often requires tailored surgical strategies to address both distance and near deviations. A 9-year-old Saudi girl presented with intermittent right-eye exotropia. Prism and alternate cover test measurements revealed 30 prism diopters (PD) of exodeviation at distance and 12 PD at nearby. Cycloplegic refraction showed mild hyperopia. The accommodative convergence to accommodation ratio was within normal limits. No significant ocular or systemic comorbidities were present. The patient underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession (7 mm) to correct the distance deviation, combined with bilateral medial rectus Faden procedures to control near deviation. The surgery proceeded without complication. On postoperative Day 1, the patient achieved orthophoria at both distance and near. At the 3- and 6-month follow-ups, ocular alignment remained stable, with only a mild residual exotropia of 5 PD at distance without glasses. No diplopia or motility restrictions were reported. A combined surgical approach of bilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus Faden procedure can effectively manage true divergence excess in intermittent exotropia, yielding stable postoperative alignment. Individualized surgical planning remains essential for optimizing outcomes.
