Changes in optical coherence tomography measurements after orbital wall decompression in dysthyroid optic neuropathy.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 our study was to assess changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness after orbital wall decompression in eyes with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON).
methodsWe analyzed peripapillary optical coherence tomography (OCT) images (Cirrus HD-OCT) from controls and patients with DON before and 1 and 6 months after orbital wall decompression.
resultsThere was no significant difference in mean preoperative peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness between eyes with DON and controls. The superior and inferior peripapillary RNFL thickness decreased significantly 1 month after decompression surgery compared to preoperative values (p = 0.043 and p = 0.022, respectively). The global average, superior, temporal, and inferior peripapillary RNFL thickness decreased significantly 6 months after decompression surgery compared to preoperative values (p = 0.015, p = 0.028, p = 0.009, and p = 0.006, respectively). Patients with greater preoperative inferior peripapillary RNFL thickness tended to have better postoperative visual acuity at the last visit (p = 0.024, OR = 0.926).
conclusionsOur data revealed a significant decrease in peripapillary RNFL thickness postoperatively after orbital decompression surgery in patients with DON. We also found that greater preoperative inferior peripapillary RNFL thickness was associated with better visual outcomes. We suggest that RNFL thickness can be used as a prognostic factor for DON before decompression surgery.
