Correlation of peripapillary nerve fiber layer thickness with visual outcomes after decompression surgery in subclinical and clinical thyroid-related compressive optic neuropathy.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2019. 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
purposeTo assess the correlation of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (PRNFL) thickness with visual recovery in compressive optic neuropathy (CON) in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED).
methodsTwenty-three eyes of 13 consecutive patients with TED-related CON were prospectively recruited. Assessment of PRNFL by means of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), visual field (VF) parameters, color vision, and visual acuity in logMAR were compared before and 6 months after decompression surgery in the operated eye for each patient, which in ten cases included both eyes. Decompression surgery was performed as medial and inferior wall decompression sparing the orbital strut by the same surgeon.
resultsThere was a significant correlation between the preoperative PRNFL average thickness and postoperative improvement in visual acuity among all patients (
conclusionsPRNFL thickness measured by SD-OCT is correlated with visual recovery after decompression surgery in TED-related CON. In eyes with severe VF defect (MD worse than -10 dB), the ones with higher preoperative PRNFL thicknesses (>65 μm) had more improvement in MD compared with those with thin PRNFL measures (<60 μm).
