Surgical approach for traumatic chiasmal syndrome and complete third nerve palsy following severe head trauma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traumatic chiasmal syndrome and traumatic third nerve palsies are rare entities usually caused by severe, high-speed, closed-head road accidents that require a thorough diagnostic work-up and complex medical and surgical management. This report presents the case of a young adult who was involved in a motorcycle accident and sustained blunt frontal head trauma, resulting in optical chiasmal syndrome and complete unilateral third nerve palsy. Ophthalmological examination demonstrated a right complete ptosis, a downward and outward position of the right eye with a fixed and dilated pupil, and bitemporal hemianopsia. In addition, funduscopy revealed bilateral optical nerve atrophy. After stabilisation and during follow-up, strabismus surgery was performed with improvement of ocular alignment in the primary position. Subsequently, eyelid surgery was carried out with good amplification of the visual field, particularly on the left side. Although challenging, surgical intervention in these cases should be considered for both functional and cosmetic reasons.
