Bilateral simultaneous non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy: a rare complication of idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS).
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We report a case of bilateral symmetrical superior visual field defects in a 72-year-old man first reported during the recovery from systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS). During the acute illness, he required extensive and prolonged fluid replacement and mechanical ventilation for severe hypotension, shock and multiorgan dysfunction. His visual field defect and optic nerve changes were consistent with a diagnosis of ischaemic optic neuropathy. These remained unchanged over 3 years and he retained excellent 6/7.5 visual acuity bilaterally. We hypothesised the mechanism of bilateral segmental infarction of the optic nerve head to be caused by the hypercoagulable and hypovolaemic state, in addition to pre-existing vascular disease and hypertension. This case highlights the importance of including optic nerve examination in the management plan of SCLS, particularly in individuals with underlying vascular risk factors.
