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

purposeThis study aimed to examine the clinical characteristics and quality of life of adult patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) in China and to identify factors associated with patients’ quality of life.

methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional survey design. The case group comprised 50 patients diagnosed with AACE, whereas the strabismus control group consisted of 47 patients with other forms of strabismus. Additionally, 54 individuals with normal eye positions were included in the control group. The Chinese version of the Adult Strabismus Quality of Life Scale (CAS-20) was utilized to evaluate the quality of life of all participants. Concurrently, individual variables were documented. Statistical analyses were performed to compare the clinical attributes and quality of life scores across the three groups, and an analysis was conducted to determine the influence of various factors on the quality of life of AACE patients.

resultsThe disease duration in the AACE group was significantly shorter than that in the other strabismus group (p < 0.001). Both the near and distance stereopsis proportions were significantly lower in both the AACE group and the other strabismus group than in the normal group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the time spent on near-vision tasks was significantly greater in the AACE group than in the other two groups (p < 0.001). The total scores for social psychology and visual function were lower in both the AACE group and the other strabismus group than in the normal control group (p < 0.001). However, the total score for social psychology was higher in the AACE group than in the other strabismus group (p < 0.001). Among AACE patients, the total scores for social psychology and visual function were higher in the distance stereopsis function group than in the non-distance stereopsis function group (p < 0.05) and higher in the near stereopsis group than in the non-near stereopsis group (p < 0.001).

conclusionProlonged use of close-up eye activities poses a risk for AACE in susceptible populations. Patients with adult AACE in China typically exhibit a short disease duration. The quality of life of these patients is significantly deteriorated, primarily due to factors such as loss of stereopsis, an increased degree of strabismus, and extended disease duration.
