Retinal toxicity of long term overdose of sildenafil citrate: A case report.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2023. 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
Purpose: To report a case of eye structure changes in a patient with long-term overdose of sildenafil citrate. Observations: A 28-year-old male presented to our outpatient clinic with flare sensation in both eyes for 1 year after taking sildenafil citrate at a dose of 200 mg daily for two years. mERG and OCT examination revealed persistent damage of retinal photoreceptor cells. The symptoms did not disappear after 3 months off the medication. Conclusions and importance: Long term excessive use of overdose sildenafil citrate can cause serious damage to retinal photoreceptor cells. The retinal side effects of sildenafil citrate still need to be further investigated, and the administration of systemic overdose also needs to be considered by all physicians, not just ophthalmologists.
