The Clinical Importance of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: Preliminary Report.

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: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious health problem that is related to an increased mortality. In cases of severe TBI, the prediction of prognosis is essential. The enlargement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) shows an increased intracranial pressure and is associated with poor outcomes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of ONSD in patients with severe TBI. Methods: Forty-four patients with severe TBI were retrospectively enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: survivors (n=17) and non-survivors (n=27). Baseline characteristics, clinical data, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) on hospital admission, brain computed tomography (CT) results, injury severity score (ISS), and Marshall score were recorded for all patients. ONSD was calculated at 3 mm distance from the globe, immediately below the sclera. Results: The ONSD on the initial CT was significantly higher in non-survivors compared with survivors (6.83±1.40 vs. 6.40±1.36, p<0.05). In addition, ISS and Marshall score were significantly higher, whereas GCS was significantly lower in non-survivors. ONSD was positively correlated with Marshall score (r=0.332, p<0.05). Receiver operating characteristics analysis demonstrated that ONSD ≥6.61 had a sensitivity of 70.4% and specificity of 64.7% for predicting mortality. It was shown that ONSD ≥6.61 had a 4.3-fold increased risk for in-hospital mortality (odds ratio: 4.35; 95% confidence interval: 1.195-15.865; p<0.05). Conclusions: The enlargement of ONSD on initial CT was detected to be associated with increased in-hospital mortality in patients with severe TBI.
