Acute, Painless Monocular Vision Loss: Non-arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Associated With Untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Essential Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia: A Case Report.

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
Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a common cause of acute, painless monocular vision loss in adults older than 50. NAION is a diagnosis of exclusion established once arteritic disease and other etiologies of acute vision loss have been ruled out. Clinicians need to distinguish NAION from arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) since failing to appropriately treat patients presenting with AION results in an inferior prognosis. NAION is often associated with risk factors like obstructive sleep apnea, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. Clinicians need to address these risk factors to help prevent the development of NAION in their patients. Here, we present the case of a 63-year-old Caucasian male who presented with acute, painless monocular vision loss.
