Purtscher's retinopathy and renal cortical necrosis: two rare vaso-occlusive complications in a patient with acute pancreatitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPurtscher's retinopathy and renal cortical necrosis are two rare vaso-occlusive complications of acute pancreatitis. Purtscher's retinopathy causes sudden impairment of vision, which was first reported in a patient with head trauma. Subsequently, it was also reported as a complication of acute pancreatitis and few other clinical conditions. Acute pancreatitis also rarely causes renal cortical necrosis leading to acute kidney injury. However, the simultaneous presence of both complications is rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old Bengali man presented to our hospital with a history of acute upper abdominal pain, vomiting, anuria, and disorientation. He was ultimately found to have bilateral complete blindness due to Purtscher's retinopathy and acute kidney injury due to renal cortical necrosis, as sequelae of acute pancreatitis. He became dialysis-dependent, his vision did not recover, and he died 16 months after diagnosis.
conclusionsThis case highlights Purtscher's retinopathy and renal cortical necrosis might be considered as a recognized pair complication of acute pancreatitis.
