Monocular Temporal Hemianopia due to Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retinal disease may mimic an optic neuropathy since both may result in a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), and retinal abnormalities may not be evident on a clinical exam. We report a case of a young woman with a monocular temporal hemianopia respecting the vertical meridian due to acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR). This 34-year-old woman presented with a 10-day history of left eye vision loss and was found to have a visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes, a left RAPD, and left temporal hemianopia on Humphrey 24-2 SITA-Fast visual field testing. Dilated fundus examination showed a normal-appearing optic nerve and retina in both eyes. She had already had a normal magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits with contrast and retinal disease was suspected. Optical coherence tomography showed dropout of the ellipsoid zone in the peripapillary retina, and fundus autofluorescence showed hyper-autoflourescence in the peripapillary region of the left eye. A diagnosis of AZOOR was made, and no improvement with prednisone occurred at final follow-up. This case demonstrates the importance of multimodal imaging in patients referred for optic neuropathies since retinal disease such as AZOOR can produce visual field defects characteristic of optic nerve disease.
