Change in optic nerve sheath diameter as a radiological marker of outcome from endoscopic third ventriculostomy in children.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the value of the change in optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a radiological marker of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) outcome in children.
methodsMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of patients on whom ETVs were performed between the periods of January 2009 and June 2013 were reviewed. ONSD measurements on pre- and post-operative images were performed by two blinded observers, and the relationship between the change in these measurements and outcome from ETV were investigated. These findings were then also compared to conventional imaging features associated with ETV outcome.
resultsMRI scans of 24 patients were adequate to measure the ONSD pre- and post-operatively. In patients with successful ETV (n = 19), the mean change in ONSD was 0.73 mm and in patients with a failed ETV (n = 5), the mean change in ONSD was 0.18 mm (p = 0.0007). A change in ONSD of 7.5 % of the initial measurement demonstrated a sensitivity of 92.9 % and a sensitivity of 85.7 % for ETV outcome (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) = 0.96).
conclusionChange in ONSD is a useful radiological marker of ETV outcome and may be used in combination with conventional radiological parameters to aid decision-making in this difficult group of patients.
