Idiopathic Optic Perineuritis in a Pediatric Patient.
Article in Journal of child neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Optic perineuritis is an inflammatory disorder of the optic nerve sheath, presenting with visual deficits, dyschromatopsia, and pain with extraocular movement, often confused with optic neuritis. Most cases are believed to be idiopathic but can be associated with autoimmune, infectious, and neoplastic etiologies. Treatment involves corticosteroids, and when administered promptly has been associated with rapid recovery. Delays in treatment have been linked to poor visual outcomes. Few pediatric cases have been described. We report a teenager who presented with 2 months of unilateral visual loss and paracentral scotoma, found to have optic perineuritis. She was treated aggressively with high-dose corticosteroids, therapeutic plasma exchange, and intravenous immunoglobulin, but had limited symptomatic recovery attributable to delays in seeking treatment. Optic perineuritis is rare in children but should be included in the differential for visual deficits, especially as delayed treatment is associated with irreversible visual loss. Further studies are needed for children to better identify underlying causes and establish consistent treatment paradigms.
