Cilioretinal artery occlusion in antiphospholipid syndrome and the decision to anticoagulate.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
A patient in her late 50s with antiphospholipid syndrome presented to general ophthalmology clinic for annual hydroxychloroquine retinopathy screening. She had taken 400 mg hydroxychloroquine daily for over a decade. She denied any visual changes and visual acuity was 20/20. Her examination and fundus photos were normal, but macular optical coherence tomography of the right eye demonstrated inner retinal atrophy and visual field tests revealed a corresponding paracentral scotoma, consistent with a prior cilioretinal artery occlusion. Prior testing from visits with other ophthalmologists revealed that this occlusion had occurred previously, but she had only been informed of not having hydroxychloroquine retinopathy. The possibility of vision loss prompted her to reconsider her prior decision to discontinue anticoagulation. This case demonstrates how anchoring bias may lead clinicians astray, and how the risk of blindness is a strong motivator for patients regarding anticoagulation.
