Case Report: Multi-sensory integration treatment for preschool children with intermittent exotropia and idiopathic scoliosis comorbidity.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
This case report evaluates a novel multi-sensory integration training (MSIT) protocol, combining binocular disparate vision perception training with physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises in two pediatric patients (aged 4 and 5 years) with comorbid non-syndromic strabismus and idiopathic scoliosis. Both patients presented with intermittent exotropia, amblyopia, and thoracic scoliosis (Cobb angles of 10° and 13°, respectively). Following the individualized MSIT intervention, marked improvements were observed in both visual and spinal parameters: visual acuity of the amblyopic eye improved, exotropia magnitude decreased, stereopsis recovered, and Cobb angles substantially reduced to 3° and 0°, respectively, after 3 months. A transient "treatment plateau" in perceptual eye position metrics was observed in one case before subsequent normalization. These findings suggest that MSIT, by simultaneously addressing aberrant visual and proprioceptive inputs, effectively improves both visual function and spinal alignment in this comorbid population, potentially through promoting central nervous system recalibration of multi-sensory integration for postural control. This integrated approach highlights the importance of interdisciplinary management for children presenting with both strabismus and spinal deformities.
