Unexpected Cataract Formation Following Valproate Treatment: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Valproic acid (VPA), or sodium valproate, is a frequently prescribed medication for many psychiatric conditions, notably for the management of bipolar affective disorder. While its common side effects are well known and thoroughly documented in medical literature, the occurrence of cataracts as a side effect is exceedingly rare. There is evidence of cataract formation with long-term use of VPA in a few studies. Recognizing this potential adverse effect is crucial. It is important to recommend that patients undergo regular eye examinations if they experience any visual disturbances or as a preventative measure to ensure effective management. This case report examines the unusual occurrence of cataract development associated with valproate use.
