1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Perioperative visual loss (POVL) is a rare but severe complication following non-ophthalmological surgery under general anesthesia. A POVL can be caused by lesions in any part of the optical system. The predominant causes include corneal injuries and particularly ischemic damage. The symptoms of POVL substantially vary ranging from reduced vision to complete blindness. The risks involve factors related to the surgery as well as patient-specific factors. In general, the prognosis in cases of mechanical damage is better than for ischemic lesions. The treatment measures depend on the underlying pathomechanism and due to the limited evidence only a few treatment options are available. Therefore, preventive measures and meticulous documentation play a crucial role.
