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

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a serious complication of craniofacial trauma that directly or indirectly damages the optic nerve and can cause severe vision loss. The incidence of TON has been gradually increasing in recent years. Research on the protection and regeneration of the optic nerve after the onset of TON is still at the level of laboratory studies and which is insufficient to support clinical treatment of TON. And, due to without clear guidelines, there is much ambiguity regarding its diagnosis and management. Clinical interventions for TON include observation only, treatment with corticosteroids alone, or optic canal (OC) decompression (with or without steroids). There is controversy in clinical practice concerning which treatment is the best. A review of available studies shows that the visual acuity of patients with TON can be significantly improved after OC decompression surgery (especially endoscopic transnasal/transseptal optic canal decompression (ETOCD)) with or without the use of corticosteroids. And new findings of laboratory studies such as mitochondrial therapy, lipid change studies, and other studies in favor of TON therapy have also been identified. In this review, we discuss the evolving perspective of surgical treatment and experimental study.
