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

Introduction: The aim of this study was to report the use of radial optic neurotomy (RON) as an experimental surgical approach for progressive visual field loss associated with extensive bilateral optic nerve head drusen (ONHD). Case Presentation: A 27-year-old female with extensive bilateral ONHD presented with rapidly progressive and severe concentric visual field loss, more severe in the left eye, despite normal intraocular pressure and topical hypotensive therapy. Multimodal imaging confirmed ONHD with significant retinal nerve fiber layer thinning and severe concentric visual field loss sparing central vision in the left eye. RON was performed at the nasal edge of the optic disc without complications. Conclusion: RON may represent a potential therapeutic option in carefully selected young patients with ONHD and progressive, severe visual field loss. Further studies are required to establish optimal timing, appropriate indications, and long-term outcomes.
