The correlation of optic nerve sheath diameter with clinical outcomes in patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy for cerebral infarction.

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
Background: This study aims to investigate the relationship between optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurements and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy (DC) due to cerebral infarction. The study evaluated the effect of ONSD on intracranial pressure (ICP) and neurological recovery after DC and determined the prognostic value of this measurement. Methods: This study was conducted on 54 patients who underwent DC for cerebral infarction between 2018 and 2024 at a tertiary university hospital, Atatürk university faculty of medicine. Demographic data (age, gender), clinical data (preoperative and postoperative Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] scores, Glasgow Outcome Scale [GOS] scores), and ONSD measurements were obtained from patient records. ONSD measurements were taken at preoperative 1 h, postoperative 1 h, postoperative 24 h, and postoperative 72 h. Measurements were performed with an ultrasound probe on both eyes while patients were in a supine position with their eyes closed. Patients were divided into two groups based on their GCS scores: Group 1 (GCS > 8) and Group 2 (GCS ≤ 8). Statistical analyses of the data were performed using Student's Results: Group 1 consisted of 26 patients (mean age 67.2 ± 6.4 years), and Group 2 consisted of 28 patients (mean age 72.4 ± 5.8 years) ( Conclusion: ONSD is an important non-invasive indicator in the assessment of ICP and clinical outcomes. High ONSD values are associated with poor clinical outcomes, and a reduction in postoperative ONSD reflects the success of surgical intervention. ONSD measurements can be used as a prognostic tool in clinical practice and play a crucial role in the management and monitoring of patients with high ICP. It is recommended that these findings be validated in larger patient groups and different clinical scenarios.
