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: Fresnel prisms are widely used to manage strabismus. Although prism power is typically selected based on the deviation in the primary gaze position, actual deflection varies with the gaze direction because the angle of incidence changes. This study quantified gaze-dependent corrective errors in the secondary and tertiary positions. Methods: Fresnel prisms (10Δ-40Δ) were mounted on a two-axis rotation stage. Deflection was measured by projecting a laser spot onto a tangent screen 100 cm away while rotating the prisms horizontally and/or vertically (±30°). Two configurations were tested: eyeward prism serration (EPS) and outward prism serration (OPS). Geometric modeling was used to predict the deflection of a prism attached to a spectacle lens, and corrective errors across the gaze field were visualized as contour maps using Kriging interpolation. Results: Corrective errors varied with prism power, gaze position, and application method (EPS vs. OPS; factorial ANOVA, P < 0.05). Prisms > 20Δ exhibited substantial, spatially complex errors. In the EPS configuration, horizontal gaze shifts toward the apex caused rapidly increasing overcorrection, whereas shifts toward the base led to undercorrection. In the OPS configuration, this gradient was reversed on the horizontal axis (P < 0.0001). Vertical gaze shifts not only amplified the horizontal corrective effects but also created unintended vertical components (perpendicular to the principal section). Conclusions: Fresnel prisms introduce nonlinear, gaze-dependent corrective errors despite the full correction of the strabismic deviation in the primary position. Recognition of these optical properties may help optimize therapeutic outcomes and enhance diagnostic accuracy.
