Effects of Home-Based Antisuppression and Binocular Integration Training in Patients with Intermittent Exotropia: A Retrospective Study.

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
Objective: To evaluate the association between 6-month home-based antisuppression with binocular integration training with binocular sensory outcomes and the 2-year surgical rate in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with IXT were included and classified into training and control groups according to their treatment history. The primary outcome was improvement in fine stereopsis (FS) at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included improvements in coarse stereopsis (CS), dynamic stereopsis (DS), peripheral suppression (PS), foveal suppression (FoS) at 6 months, and surgical rate within 2 years. Propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting were applied to balance baseline characteristics. Relative risks were estimated using univariable and multivariable log-binomial regression. Subgroup analyses were performed for the primary outcome. Results: A total of 252 patients were included. At 6 months, the training group showed significantly higher improvement rates than the control group in FS (61.54% vs 32.11%, P=0.0001), DS (49.65% vs 31.19%, P=0.0050), and CS (41.96% vs 22.94%, P=0.0025). The training group also had a significantly lower surgical rate within 2 years (8.39% vs 18.35%, P=0.0118). No significant differences were observed in PS or FoS. Subgroup analysis identified no significant interactions of FS improvements. Conclusion: Home-based antisuppression with binocular integration training was associated with improved binocular sensory outcomes and a lower 2-year surgical rate in patients with IXT. These findings suggest that this intervention may represent a potential adjunctive non-surgical treatment option.
