Role of delayed wider endoscopic optic decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy: a single-center surgical experience.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to discuss the efficacy of delayed wider endoscopic optic decompression in traumatic optic neuropathy (TON).
methodsA total of 479 patients were treated with corticosteroids and delayed wider endoscopic optic decompression, including the injury-to-surgery interval, within 2 weeks in patients with no light perception (NLP), and within 1 month in patients with residual eyesight. Based on the traditional decompression range, the superior wall of the optic canal was further decompressed. The preoperative and postoperative visual acuities (VAs) were reviewed, and the therapeutic efficacy was analyzed.
resultsThe final VA was 0.1 or better in 29 cases, finger count in 79 cases, hand motion in 99 cases, light perception (LP) in 25 cases, and NLP in 247 cases. A total of 136 patients (136/383, 35.5%) recovered after NLP treatment, and 78 patients (69/96, 71.9%) had improved residual eyesight. The improvement rate in patients with residual eyesight was significantly higher than that of patients with NLP (P<0.01). Moreover, the total VA after treatment was better than that before surgery (P<0.01).
conclusionsDelayed wider optic nerve decompression plus corticosteroids remains an effective and safe therapeutic strategy for patients with delayed treatment intervals of more than 1 week, especially for those with residual eyesight within 1 month.
