Papilledema and Anemia: A Rare Association.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Papilledema is the swelling of the optic disc due to the transmission of intracranial pressure through the optic nerve. It can occur as a symptom of various intracranial pathologies that elevate the intracranial pressure. Even though anemia has been described as an association with raised intracranial pressure, the exact causal relationship between the two has not been well established in the literature. We present one such unusual case wherein a 21-year-old female patient, who complained of headaches, was found to have papilledema and severe anemia. After an unyielding workup for secondary causes, the rare association between papilledema and anemia was considered and prompt hemoglobin correction was ensued. Subsequently, resolution of papilledema and improvement in the visual acuity of the patient was observed. Although the causal relationship between anemia and papilledema has not been thoroughly explained, appropriate workup and correction of anemia play an integral role in the management of patients with papilledema and the prevention of long-term ocular complications.
