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
Objective: Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) was shown to improve patients' recovery after surgery and transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression has been associated with lesser risks of postoperative complications compared to other surgical techniques in treating Graves ophthalmopathy (GO), there are currently no clinical studies on the application of ERAS in transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression. This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of combining transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression with ERAS in the treatment of GO. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 5 GO patients (10 eyes) treated with transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression from January 2021 to December 2021 at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University. All patients underwent ERAS, and the effects of ERAS on the postoperative complications and recovery of patients were evaluated. Results: Ophthalmological examination showed that GO patients had good correction of exophthalmos after surgery combined with ERAS. Specifically, the exophthalmos reduction in subjects was 0.9-2.1 mm, with a mean reduction of 1.23 mm. In addition, a visual acuity improvement of 0.15-0.4, with an average improvement of 0.23, was also observed. Further, the Scale of Quality of Life for Diseases with Visual Impairment (SQOL-DVI) showed that, compared with before surgery, the patients' QOL was significantly improved 2 weeks after surgery. Before surgery, there were 2 patients with diplopia and blurred vision, and after postoperative adaptive exercise, the symptoms of these 2 patients disappeared after 6 months of follow-up. As for the other 3 patients, they had no diplopia or blurred vision after surgery. Conclusion: This observational study found that transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression might be effective in treating GO, and ERAS might be considered an important adjunct to improving perioperative care and postoperative recovery.
