Initial postoperative alignment versus long-term outcomes in intermittent exotropia surgery.
Trial report in Journal of AAPOS : the official publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 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
purposeTo investigate whether immediate postoperative esodeviation is associated with superior long-term outcomes following surgery for childhood intermittent exotropia (IXT).
methodsWe performed a post hoc analysis of randomized clinical trial data, where 185 children 3 to <11 years of age underwent surgery for IXT with a 1-week visit and at least one of the 6-month to 8-year visits. Participants had been randomized to bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLRc) or unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection (R&R). One-week postoperative distance deviation by prism and alternate cover test (PACT) was analyzed according to 5 levels.
resultsFor 1-week postoperative distance exodeviation (n = 32), orthophoria (n = 30), 1
