Analysis of factors affecting visual field recovery following surgery for pituitary adenoma.

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 analyze the factors influencing visual field recovery in patients with pituitary adenoma following surgical treatment.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 144 eyes of 72 patients with pituitary adenoma who had been followed up for more than 6 months following surgery between January 2016 and December 2019. Pre and postoperative visual acuity, visual field test and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were investigated. We defined recovery of visual field defects as being an improvement in mean deviation (MD) of 2 dB or more.
resultThe average age of the 72 patients (144 eyes) was 51.94 ± 14.69 years, making for 37 patients in the recovery group and 35 patients in the non-recovery group. Preoperative MD, pattern standard deviation (PSD), and visual field indexes (VFI) were negatively correlated to postoperative MD, PSD and VFI changes and positively correlated to postoperative MD, PSD, and VFI values. Using multiple regression analysis, a shorter duration of symptoms (Odds ratio [OR], 0.990; p = 0.033), higher preoperative MD values (OR, 0.871; p = 0.025), and thicker temporal RNFL (OR, 1.068; p = 0.048) were associated with a visual field recovery following surgery.
conclusionsThe prognosis for visual field recovery is favorable for patients who have a short period from symptom onset to surgery, a higher MD value of preoperative VF, and a thicker peripapillary temporal RNFL thickness. Therefore, the preoperative MD, temporal RNFL thickness, and the symptom period can be predictive variables affecting postoperative visual field recovery.
