1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo quantify alteration of retinal peripapillary microvasculature and visual function within three months follow-up in indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON) after endoscopic trans-ethmosphenoid optic canal decompression (ETOCD). METHODOLOGY: Thirty-seven ITON eyes were included. Radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) density at pre-operation and post-operation within three months follow-up (pre-op, post-op 2 weeks, post-op 1 month and post-op 3 months) was analyzed. The comparisons of RPC density and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at different points were analyzed.

resultsIn ITON eyes, preoperative global RPC density was reduced compared to unaffected eyes (P ≤ 0.001). Global RPC density of ITON at pre-op, post-op 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months were 47.71 ± 7.36, 40.56 ± 8.71, 40.75 ± 7.06 and 33.95 ± 8.03, respectively. For ITON eyes, three points' post-op global RPC density significantly differed from pre-op RPC density (All P ≤ 0.006). BCVA of ITON at pre-op, post-op 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months were 2.41 ± 1.61, 1.84 ± 1.43, 1.54 ± 1.39 and 1.54 ± 1.38, respectively. A significant difference had been found at post-op 1 month and post-op 3 months when compared to pre-op BCVA (P = 0.018 and 0.015, respectively).

conclusionsThe reduced RPC density occurred in ITON with a plateau between post-op 2 weeks and post-op 1 month. The visual improvement might be secondary to the alteration of retinal perfusion after ETOCD for a long time, though discrepancies in structural-functional resilience existed.
