Optic nerve sheath diameter/eyeball transverse diameter ratio by ultrasound in prediction of increased intracranial pressure in children with viral encephalitis.

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
Introduction: Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is common with viral encephalitis in children which is associated with complications and prognosis. The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a new indicator for the assessment of intracranial pressure using ultrasound, CT scan and MRI imaging. Given the influence of physical development on ONSD size in children, we expect more accurate assessment of intracranial pressure with ONSD/ETD (eyeball transverse diameter) ratio by ultrasound. The aim of the study is to determine the performance of the ONSD/ETD ratio measurement to predict ICP occurring in children with viral encephalitis and evaluate the therapeutic effect. Methods: Children with viral encephalitis from May 2022 to June 2024 were recruited in this study. The initial ONSD/ETD ratio measurement by ultrasound were completed before lumbar puncture. Children were divided into the increased ICP group and the normal ICP group based on whether the ICP was over 200 mmH Results: The ONSD/ETD ratios measured in the two groups before treatment were 0.231 ± 0.019 and 0.182 ± 0.012, respectively ( Conclusion: Our study shows that ONSD/ETD can be used as an easy reference tool for evaluating ICP in children with viral encephalitis which can reflect the therapeutic effect.
