Short-Term Intraocular Pressure Changes After 0.1% Fluorometholone in Pediatric Strabismus Surgery.

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: To investigate the effect of 0.1% fluorometholone ophthalmic solution (FM) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in children after strabismus surgery. Patients and Methods: We included 224 eyes of 224 children aged <15 years who underwent strabismus surgery at JCHO Chukyo Hospital from January 2014 to December 2023, received FM four times daily in the operated eye for 1 month postoperatively, and underwent IOP measurement using a non-contact tonometer NT-530Ⓡ (NIDEK Co. Ltd. Aichi, Japan). We assessed pre- and postoperative IOPs, postoperative changes in IOP, the number of children with a postoperative increase of >6 mmHg in the IOP, and the number of children with a postoperative IOP >20 mmHg. Results: The participants included 106 boys and 118 girls, with a mean age of 8.6 years. The mean pre- and postoperative IOPs were 14.7 ± 2.4 mmHg and 14.8 ± 3.3 mmHg, respectively, with no significant difference (p = 0.552). At 1 month postoperatively, 8 eyes (3.6%) had an increase of >6 mmHg, 14 eyes (6.3%) had a postoperative IOP >20 mmHg, and 3 eyes (1.3%) had both. Conclusion: Short-term use of FM may not significantly increase IOP and may be considered safe for anti-inflammatory treatment in pediatric patients after strabismus surgery.
