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

importanceIdentifying risk factors for radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) could promote a more conservative approach to radiation treatment planning in vulnerable patients.

backgroundThis study explored possible factors beyond radiation dose associated with the development of RION after external beam radiation therapy.

designThis was a retrospective case-control study conducted at a university hospital tertiary care center.

participantsCases (n = 14) meeting criteria for a diagnosis of RION by neuro-ophthalmologic exam were identified from a single-centre neuro-ophthalmology database. Controls (n = 31) without RION were selected from a single-centre radiation oncology database.

methodsControls were matched to cases based upon maximum radiation dose to the optic apparatus. Patient characteristics and treatment parameters were interrogated by univariate analysis for attributes predisposing to RION.

main outcome measuresThe primary parameter was a significant association of patient characteristics or treatment parameters with RION.

resultsControlling for radiation dosage, no significant associations for alternative risk factors were identified. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: These results support the literature suggesting that the primary risk factor for developing RION is radiation dosage and that additional patient-related and tumour-related risk factors may play only a minor role.
