The outcome of surgical and non-surgical treatments for traumatic optic neuropathy: a comparative study of 685 cases.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: The choice and efficacy of surgical or/and surgical treatments for traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) remained controversial by now. This study aims to present the outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical treatments for TON in our center. Methods: A total of 685 consecutive patients were retrospectively included in the study. And divided into surgical and non-surgical groups. All cases were treated with corticosteroids for 3 days after admission. Endoscopic optic decompression was applied to 479 patients of surgical group; The other 206 patients of nonsurgical were administered with corticosteroids alone. The visual outcomes before and after treatment were compared with Wilcoxon rank and tests. The improvement rate between two groups were compared with chi-square test. Results: The visual acuity (VA) after treatment was significantly better than that before treatment (P=0.000). Overall VA improvement rate in the surgical group was better than that in non-surgical group (42.8% Conclusions: Endoscopic optic nerve decompression (EOND) combined with corticosteroids or corticosteroids alone could reach the improvement for patients with TON. The EOND combined with corticosteroids could achieve better VA improvement in patients with NLP.
