Studying the functional state of the optic nerve in patients with recent onset indirect traumatic optic neuropathy following different treatment modalities.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIndirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON) is a vision‑threatening condition with no universally accepted treatment. This study compares high‑dose steroids, erythropoietin (EPO), and observation.
methodsNinety patients were assigned to three equal groups. BCVA, Ishihara score, visual field MD, and pattern VEP were evaluated.
resultsEPO showed the highest improvement in BCVA, P100 latency, P100 amplitude, color vision, and MD.
conclusionEPO proved superior functional recovery compared with steroids [1, 2, 3] and observation. These findings are promising; however, larger multicenter studies are required to confirm these results.
