Optic Disc Neovascularization as the Only Sign of Ocular Ischemic Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) features ocular changes occurring secondary to carotid artery occlusive disease (CAOD). We present a unique case of a 64-year-old patient who was referred to the retina clinic due to an incidental isolated finding of left optic disc neovascularization (NVD). The patient was asymptomatic with visual acuity of 6/6 unaided and with normal intraocular pressure bilaterally. Fundus fluorescein angiogram showed hyper-fluorescence on the left optic disc with no areas of capillary dropout. Carotid Doppler and CT angiogram showed significant stenosis within the left proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) and poor visualization of flow in the distal ICA. The patient was urgently referred to the vascular team, and within four months of establishing an OIS diagnosis, she had carotid endarterectomy. As a result, NVD did not show any further progression. This case highlights the importance of community retinal screening by optometrists; that OIS can be asymptomatic, the need to consider CAOD in cases of NVD; and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.
