The short-term effects of intranasal steroids on intraocular pressure in pediatric population.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of intranasal mometasone furoate (INMF) on short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) alterations in children with allergic rhinitis (AR).
methodsChildren diagnosed with AR and to whom INMF nasal spray had been firstly prescribed were enrolled. Cases with any ocular diseases except for refractive errors were excluded. Complete ophthalmologic examinations including IOP measurements using Tonopen XL were performed before the treatment as well as at the first and sixth weeks of follow-up. Demographics and ophthalmologic findings were noted and statistically analyzed.
resultsStudy population consisted of 62 right eyes of 62 children with a mean age of 8.55 ± 3.14 years. Of them, 29 were female (46.8%) and 33 were male (53.2%). Dilated fundoscopy revealed an enlarged Cup/Disc ratio in 12 eyes (19.4%). Family history of glaucoma was positive in 13 cases (21.0%). Mean best corrected visual acuity was found as 0.05 ± 0.08 logMAR. Initial IOP was 17.1 ± 2.3 mmHg; whereas it was measured as 18.2 ± 2.0 mmHg and 17.3 ± 2.1 mmHg at the first and sixth weeks of follow-up, respectively (p < 0.001). Both at the first and sixth weeks of follow-up, significant IOP rise was present in children with a positive family history of glaucoma (p < 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively). Besides, increased IOP was found in participants with cupping revealed on fundoscopy at the first week of follow-up (p = 0.044).
conclusionSince children have greater risk for steroid-induced ocular hypertensive response than adults, ophthalmologic evaluation must be recommended in children receiving intranasal steroids.
