Clinical Characteristics of Intermittent Exotropia in Children with Myopia and Myopic Anisometropia.
Article in Current medical science, 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
objectivePrevious studies have yielded contradictory conclusions on the relationship between intermittent exotropia (IXT) and the magnitude of myopia, especially in children. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics of IXT in children with myopia and myopic anisometropia.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated the clinical data of patients (4-15 years of age) with convergence insufficiency (CI)-IXT and basic IXT who underwent surgery between 2022 and 2023. All patients underwent cycloplegia before the examinations and surgery. The degree of strabismus was measured when the patient viewed from the center of the glasses. Ocular dominance was routinely tested in children with IXT via the "hole-in-card test" after best-corrected visual acuity was obtained. Children were subsequently grouped into 2 groups (anisometropia and nonanisometropia) according to the difference in binocular spherical equivalent (SE) values (≥ 1.0 diopters [D]).
resultsA total of 197 patients were included in the study. The preoperative deviation at near was significantly lower in the basic IXT group than in the CI-IXT group, whereas the distance exodeviation was significantly greater in the basic IXT group than in the CI-IXT group (P < 0.05). Patients with anisometropia were older than those without anisometropia (P < 0.001). The dominant eyes had significantly less myopia than the nondominant eyes did in the CI-IXT and anisometropia groups (P = 0.049 and P = 0.003, respectively). High myopia was more prevalent in middle school students with IXT (16.67%) than in preschool students (4.55%) and primary schoolchildren (3.18%). The percentage of individuals with anisometropia (≥ 3.0 D) varied in the low (1.68%), moderate (8.7%), and high myopia groups (22.22%). Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that age and SE of the dominant eye were independent factors related to anisometropia in children with IXT (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively).
conclusionPatients with IXT, especially those with anisometropia and CI-IXT, were shown to have less myopia in the dominant eye. Age and SE of the dominant eye were found to be independent factors related to anisometropia in children with IXT.
