An evolving perspective of endoscopic transnasal optic canal decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy in clinic.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2021. 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
Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a serious complication of craniofacial trauma, which damages the optic nerve indirectly and leads to dysfunction of visual acuity. The clinical intervention for a patient with TON includes optic canal decompression (with or without steroids), treatment with corticosteroids alone, or observation only. Currently, there is a controversy among clinicians as to which treatment is optimal. An increasing number of retrospective studies have unveiled that patients could experience significant improvement in visual acuity after optic canal decompression surgery, particularly endoscopic transnasal/transethmosphenoid optic canal decompression (ETOCD), either with or without corticosteroids. In this review, we discuss the evolving perspective on surgical treatment, specifically ETOCD, for the management of patients with TON and focus mainly on the therapeutic efficacy, safety, and resulting prognosis in the clinic.
