Optic nerve sheath diameter change in prediction of malignant cerebral edema in ischemic stroke: an observational study.
Observational study in BMC neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundIn acute large anterior circulation infarct patients with large core volume, we evaluated the role of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) change rates in prediction of malignant progression.
methodsWe performed a retrospective observational study including patients with anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke with large ischemic cores from January 2010 to October 2017. Primary outcome was defined as undergoing decompressive surgery or death due to severe cerebral edema, and termed malignant progression. Patients were divided into malignant progressors and nonprogressors. Malignant progression was divided into early progression that occurred before D1 CT, and late progression that occurred afterwards. Retrospective analysis of changes in mean ONSD/eyeball transverse diameter (ETD) ratio, and midline shifting (MLS) were evaluated on serial computed tomography (CT). Through analysis of CT at baseline, postprocedure, and at D1, the predictive ability of time based change in ONSD/ETD ratio in predicting malignant progression was evaluated.
resultsA total of 58 patients were included. Nineteen (32.8%) were classified as malignant; 12 early, and 7 late progressions. In analysis of CT
conclusionsThe rate of ONSD/ETD changes compared to baseline at D1 CT can be a predictor of late malignant progression along with MLS. ONSD/ETD change rates evaluated at postprocedure did not predict early malignant progression.
