Acute Bilateral Blindness in the Setting of Sudden Onset of Bilateral Proptosis and Ophthalmoplegia: A Case Report With Literature Review.
Review in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purpose of reviewAcute bilateral blindness has an extensive differential diagnosis that requires a careful history and physical examination to narrow down. In this article, we discuss the pathophysiology and radiographic findings of each possible diagnosis for acute bilateral blindness. RECENT
findingsVisual pathology with respect to bilateral blindness can be broadly broken down into 3 anatomic categories: media (i.e., the anterior and posterior chamber of the eye), retina, and neural visual pathway. Possible causes of rapid onset bilateral blindness include bilateral occipital infarcts, endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis, orbital cellulitis, orbital compartment syndrome, cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis, thyroid disease, and bilateral nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy. SUMMARY: In this case, we present a patient with acute onset of bilateral blindness, in addition to bilateral ophthalmoplegia, proptosis, and orbital chemosis. We believe that this rare case of acute bilateral blindness is thought provoking and aids in the understanding of the differential diagnosis and underlying pathophysiology of visual loss.
