Type II Acute Macular Neuroretinopathy Secondary to Malaria.

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
To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of type II acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) exhibiting in a patient suffering from malarial retinopathy concomitant with cerebral malaria acquired after travelling to West Africa without taking the necessary antimalarial prophylaxis. The patient complained of bilateral blurring of vision after being removed off sedation whilst at the intensive care unit. Subsequent examination revealed bilateral retinal haemorrhages, cotton-wool spots, and foveal pigmentary changes in keeping malarial retinopathy. Macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed patchy hyperreflective changes at the level of the outer plexiform and outer nuclear layers (ONL) in keeping with the areas of deep capillary plexus flow void noted on OCT-angiography (OCT-A). This case report sheds more light on the extent of neurosensory retinal ischaemia in malarial retinopathy and showcases a new imaging biomarker which may be utilized in assessing and quantifying the functional deficit created by this disease.
