Clinical factors associated with impaired near stereoacuity in children and adolescents with intermittent exotropia.

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 clinical factors associated with impaired near stereoacuity in children and adolescents with intermittent exotropia (IXT). Methods: In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, 809 patients aged 3-17 years with IXT were recruited at Tianjin Eye Hospital from January 2021 to February 2022. Near stereoacuity was measured using the Titmus stereo test (impaired defined as >100 s of arc). Factors associated with impaired near stereoacuity were first examined using univariate logistic regression, followed by multivariable logistic models with stepwise adjustment for demographic and refractive-related confounders. Exploratory subgroup analyses were conducted to assess potential heterogeneity of associations across clinical subgroups. Results: Impaired near stereoacuity was observed in 52.0% (421/809) of patients. In the fully adjusted multivariable model, independent risk factors included anisometropia (odds ratio [OR] = 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-2.51), longer disease duration (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.12), and larger deviation angles at near (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.03) and distance (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04). Associations were consistent across sex, age, and refractive status subgroups. Notably, anisometropia showed a stronger association in basic-type IXT (OR = 3.35, 95% CI: 1.77-6.32). Conclusion: Impaired near stereoacuity affects over half of pediatric patients with IXT and is independently linked to anisometropia, longer disease duration, and greater deviation angles. Routine assessment of near stereoacuity and refractive status is recommended to guide early intervention and management in this population.
