Unilateral CRAO as the presenting clinical sign of systemic lupus erythematosus.

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: This report describes the case of unilateral central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) as a patient's presenting clinical sign of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Observations: Though the patient knew of her SLE diagnosis through incidental abnormal lab work, she never pursued treatment because she never exhibited signs of the disease. Despite her asymptomatic course, she presented with a sudden and severe thrombotic event that left her with no light perception in her affected eye. Laboratory work-up was consistent with SLE and anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS). Conclusions and importance: This case draws attention to the possibility of CRAO as a presenting sign of SLE, rather than a sequela of active disease. Awareness of this risk may play a factor in future discussions between patients and their rheumatologists when considering initiation of treatment at the time of diagnosis.
