Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis secondary to COVID-19: an index case.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis is a very rare condition, known to have a profound negative impact on vision and eye movement function and is usually associated with orbital infections, inflammation, tumors, or carotid cavernous fistulae. There is an increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis associated with COVID-19, the presence of which is related to a significantly increased risk of mortality. We report an index case of superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis in a 61-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonitis and a concomitant saddle pulmonary embolus. He was swiftly treated with low molecular weight heparin which led to the resolution of the thrombosis within 3 weeks. This case highlights the importance of considering this entity in the context of COVID-19 as well as providing prompt treatment to reduce the risk of complications.
