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

Introduction: Involuntary muscle stimulation by a nerve other than the normal muscle innervation leads to ocular synkinesis. The most common form of ocular synkinesis, which involves the extraocular muscles, occurs between the abducens and oculomotor nerves. Case Presentation: We describe a case of congenital unilateral trochlear-oculomotor synkinesis in a healthy 31-year-old woman, along with a review of the related literature. The patient shows unusual lid retraction when she depresses and adducts her left eye. Additionally, we discuss the proposed mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology, the ophthalmic workup, and suggested management strategies. Conclusion: Given its rarity and potential to cause diagnostic confusion, physicians need to be aware of this condition.
