Effectiveness of the long-term prism adaptation test over 1 month or more in strabismus surgery for esotropia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Prism adaptation test (PAT) was shown to be an effective assessment for esotropia (ET) surgeries. However, the effectiveness of long-term PAT for ET remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the long-term PAT for patients with ET by comparing the preoperative deviations before PAT (simple PACT), after short-time PAT (15-30 min/set), and after long-term PAT (1-6 months). This prospective, longitudinal study enrolled 24 consecutive patients who underwent strabismus surgery for ET after long-term PAT. Ocular deviation was measured by prism and alternate cover test (PACT) at pre-PAT, post-short‑time PAT, and post-long‑term PAT. We analyzed the correlation between the effect of long-term PAT and preoperative parameters. The pre-PAT, post-short-time-PAT, and post-long-term-PAT deviations were 13.0 ± 5.2° (23.0 ± 9.0 Δ), 14.4 ± 5.9° (25.7 ± 10.4 Δ), and 15.8 ± 6.3° (28.2 ± 11.0 Δ), respectively. The post-long-term-PAT deviation was larger than that at pre-PAT (p = 0.001). Multivariable analysis revealed that the long-term PAT effect was correlated with PAT duration and short-time PAT effect. Our findings suggest that long-term PAT reveals latent deviation and is associated with surgical success in patients with ET. Future comparative studies with control groups are needed to validate these findings.
