Visual Loss after Platelet-rich Plasma Injection into the Face.
Article in Neuro-ophthalmology (Aeolus Press), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Platelet-rich plasma has become one of the most widely used facial cosmetics fillers. We evaluated four patients treated by cosmetologists with platelet-rich plasma injections who developed irreversible blindness due to iatrogenic occlusion of the ophthalmic artery; immediately after the injection in the glabellar area in three cases and in the nasolabial fold in one case. Early after the injections the fundi of all patients demonstrated central retinal artery and choroidal occlusions. Later, two patients developed retinal pigment dispersion and one of them a pigmented optic disc. The scars on the skin showed similar characteristics in all patients, which could constitute an important marker in the presumptive diagnosis of platelet-rich plasma injection associated complications.
