A case of branch retinal artery occlusion postcataract surgery in an antiphospholipid syndrome patient.

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 46-year-old female with preoperative vision 6/18 N18 (LogMar 0.5) in re and posterior subcapsular cataract underwent an uneventful phacoemulsification surgery under a peribulbar block. On the postoperative day 2, she complained of no visual gain in the operated eye. The reported vision was counting fingers close to the face. Through multimodal imaging (MMI), a diagnosis of branched retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) was made. A detailed consultation and history taking with the patient revealed a concealed history of four miscarriages in the past. A detailed systemic blood workup revealed antiphospholipid antibody (APLA) positive. BRAO postuneventful cataract surgery is a devasting outcome for the surgeon and patient undergoing surgery. The report focuses on the importance of taking detailed past medical history and usage of MMI early to rule out and diagnose unexpected scenarios. We suggest BRAO in our patient was a result of emboli formation, which is a common element in APLA-positive patients.
