ZSZati Bayani Salwa Sani MCMaharani Cahyono KTKevin Christian Tjandra

Key Points

Evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of stem cell treatments for optic neuropathy.
Conducted a network meta-analysis and systematic review of prospective clinical trials.
Focused on visual acuity, visual field, and RNFL thickness as key outcomes.
The network meta-analysis identified significant variability in treatment effects across different stem cell therapies for optic neuropathy.
Improvement in visual acuity was observed with specific stem cell interventions compared to baseline measurements.

Abstract

This study conducts a network meta-analysis and systematic review of prospective clinical trials. This study aims to systematically evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of stem cell–based therapies for optic neuropathy using a network meta-analysis approach, focusing on key visual and neuro-ophthalmologic outcomes, including visual acuity, visual field, and RNFL thickness
