Novel System for Measuring Tension Force in Eyeball Movement.
Article in Biosensors, 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
Accurate assessment of extraocular muscle mechanics is crucial for diagnosing and treating ocular motility disorders, yet current methods, such as the forced duction test, rely on subjective tactile sensation and gross visual observation. To overcome the limitations of subjectivity and the impracticality of previous quantitative devices, we developed a novel biosensing system capable of simultaneously and objectively measuring passive ocular tension and rotation angle during forced duction. The system integrates custom-engineered surgical forceps equipped with dual strain gauges and an infrared video camera that precisely tracks pupil displacement to calculate real-time rotation angle. We clinically validated this system in a prospective study involving 10 patients (20 eyes) with intermittent exotropia, with measurements performed under general anesthesia. Reliable tension-angle curves were successfully obtained in all cases without complications. Passive tension increased progressively with ocular rotation, following a linear-parabolic trajectory up to 40°. The mean duction force of the medial and lateral rectus muscles showed comparable symmetry. This lightweight, practical, and objective biosensing system offers a reliable tool for quantifying ocular mechanics, with the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, enable individualized surgical planning, and support fundamental research in ocular motility disorders.
