Outcome variables were success rate (defined by alleviation of diplopia or reduction in eye deviation) and standardized mean difference of prism diopter and abduction deficit before and after injection. The Joanna Briggs Institute checklist was implemented for the risk of bias assessment. The analysis included 38 articles, comprising 643 patients. The overall treatment success rate in acute and chronic nerve palsy was 79% and 33%, respectively. The success rate was not significantly different between different subgroups of age, type of botulinum toxin, pre-injection prism diopter, etiology of the palsy, duration of follow-up, and mean dose of botulinum toxin injection. However, in both acute and chronic palsy, diabetes etiology was accompanied by the highest success rate. Overall symptomatic response to botulinum injection was 84% (95% CI: 67% to 96%), whereas functional response was observed in 64% (95% CI: 47% to 79%) of the patients.
