1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 highlight the importance of neuroimaging in children with esotropia and developmental delay and to support botulinum toxin as a minimally invasive treatment option when major brain malformations are present. Methods: We describe an 18-month-old girl with infantile esotropia and mild developmental delay. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed near-complete cerebellar agenesis with a hypoplastic pons. Considering this malformation, bilateral medial rectus botulinum toxin injections (15 units in 0.1 mL per muscle, freehand technique) were performed instead of conventional strabismus surgery. Results: Ocular alignment improved with satisfactory cosmetic appearance, and stability was maintained throughout 4 months of follow-up. Genetic testing was not performed at the time because of follow-up limitations; however, it is recommended for further etiological clarification. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of neuroimaging in children with esotropia and developmental delay and supports botulinum toxin as a minimally invasive treatment option when major brain malformations are present.
