Strabismus surgery complicated by levator dehiscence.

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
Purpose: Complications of strabismus surgery include residual strabismus, infection, and anterior segment ischemia. We present a rare case of severe ptosis and complete levator aponeurosis dehiscence after strabismus reoperation. Observations: A 31-year-old female with a history of right eye amblyopia and strabismus presented with right large hypotropia, exotropia and right upper eyelid ptosis. After strabismus surgery, the patient had residual postoperative right hypotropia and ptosis but was lost to follow up for 6 years. She returned with worsening of ptosis after receiving right upper eyelid cosmetic filler injection. Additional strabismus surgical revision to first address the hypotropia was complicated by complete right eyelid ptosis. During eyelid repair, complete right levator aponeurosis dehiscence was noted, and surgical correction was performed. Conclusions and importance: While not commonly discussed as a surgical complication, severe ptosis secondary to complete levator aponeurosis dehiscence can occur after strabismus surgery, possibly influenced by patient- and procedure-related factors.
