Solar retinopathy: A literature review.
Review in Oman journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Solar retinopathy (SR) refers to retinal injury that results from unprotected excessive exposure to light. It has been associated with direct sungazing, sunbathing, laser pointers, and welding arc exposure. Symptoms are typically bilateral and are characterized by asymmetric decreased vision, central or paracentral scotoma, photophobia, metamorphopsia, and headache. In most cases, recovery occurs spontaneously with no specific treatment within weeks to 6 months after exposure. However, few cases have been reported in the literature using steroids in acute SR because of their anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this review is to present an update about this entity, describing the pathogenesis, risk factors, and diagnostic methods, with focus on management and outcomes of SR.
