Intravenous Thrombolysis for Central Retinal Artery Occlusion: A Look at the Literature for the Emergency Medicine Physician.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a subtype of ischemic stroke and true ocular emergency presenting with acute, painless, monocular vision loss. Typical findings include poor visual acuity (VA), impaired color vision, relative afferent pupillary defect, and on fundoscopic evaluation, retinal edema, cherry red spot, and occasionally visualization of retinal artery emboli. While there are no proven treatments for CRAO, options include orbital massage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and intra-arterial or intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). This study reviews the current literature on the efficacy of IVT for patients affected by acute, symptomatic CRAO and provides an up-to-date, evidence-based background for emergency physicians (EPs) who evaluate and manage these patients.
