Orbital infarction during drug abuse: tissues of the globe do not appear to recover function.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2024. 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
aimTo describe the features of an orbital infarction syndrome arising after prolonged orbital pressure during drug-induced stupor in young people. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe clinical presentation and course for drug-induced orbital infarction is described, based on a retrospective review of clinical notes and imaging.
resultsTwo cases of orbital infarction syndrome, due to prolonged orbital compression caused by sleeping with pressure on the orbit during drug-induced stupor, are described. Both patients presented with very poor vision and mydriasis, marked periorbital swelling with some pain, and complete external ophthalmoplegia. Whilst the orbital changes and eye movements recovered, the affected eyes had persistent wide mydriasis, and remained blind with marked optic atrophy.
conclusionWith a mechanism analogous to prolonged orbital pressure due to improper head positioning during neurosurgical procedures, drug-users appear to risk developing an orbital infarction syndrome if they rest with prolonged pressure on the orbit during a drug-induced stupor.
