A Case of Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy with COVID-19.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is thought to be caused by loss of blood flow to the optic nerve which in turn causes an acute, unilateral and painless vision loss that affects older vasculopathic patients. We report a case of a 43-year-old Hispanic male with the classic presentation of NAION in the setting of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. It is well documented that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can cause hypoxemia and thrombophilia in patients, both of which may contribute to the development of NAION. It is uncertain whether the association of NAION and COVID-19 was causal or coincidental but the purpose of this case report is to argue that there is biological plausibility and to help shed light on potential ophthalmologic complications of COVID-19.
