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

rationalePreoperative embolization of brain tumors has been widely used to minimize hemorrhaging during surgery, but anastomosis between vessels is sometimes overlooked and complications can occur. Herein we describe a case of rare complications of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and posterior ciliary artery occlusion after embolization of the middle meningeal artery. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 48-year-old woman experienced acute, painless loss of vision in her left eye during embolization of the middle meningeal artery for meningioma. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed with CRAO and posterior ciliary artery occlusion based on indirect ophthalmoscopy, optical computed tomography of the macula, and fundus angiography.

interventionsOcular massage, oral acetazolamide, and topical brimonidine eyedrops were administered. OUTCOMES: Visual acuity decreased from hand motion to no light perception within 2 months. Optic disc atrophy with retinal thinning was evident after 2 to 4 months. LESSONS: The blood supply and any collateral vessels of the ophthalmic artery should be vigilantly scrutinized to prevent complications during embolization of the middle meningeal artery that may lead to a poor visual outcome.
