1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 evaluate the retinal vasculature pathophysiological changes of indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON) patients after effective surgery.

methodsMonocular ITON patients who underwent endoscopic trans-ethmosphenoid optic canal decompression (ETOCD) or conservative treatments in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2017 to June 2020 were recruited. Visual acuity (VA), visual evoked potential (VEP), oxygen saturation of retinal blood vessels (SO

resultsA total of 95 ITON patients were recruited, including 77 patients who underwent ETOCD and 18 patients who underwent conservative treatments. After treatments, more patients received ETOCD (59/77 = 76.6%) presented with improved VA compared with the patients with conservative treatments (6/18 = 33.3%). Compared with the pre-therapeutic measurements, VEP were significantly improved after surgery in ETOCD-treated patients (P < 0.05). Latent periods of P1 and N2, as well as amplitude of P2 of VEP parameters, showed more sensitive to vision recovery (P < 0.05). Retinal artery SO

conclusionsVision recovery after effective treatment of ITON patients was associated with the increased oxygen saturation of retinal vessels, better availability of oxygen in the retina, greater vessel density, and thicker retinas, which might further underlie the vasculature mechanism of vision recovery in ITON patients.
