Sudden transient blindness following ureteroscopy: an uncommon complication of a common procedure (a case report).
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 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
Perioperative vision loss following non-ophthalmic surgical procedures represents a rare but potentially serious complication. Although its occurrence in urology is infrequent, the consequences for patients and legal implications are significant. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with no notable medical history, treated for renal lithiasis. Following the ureteroscopy, the patient experienced a sudden reduction in visual acuity. The diagnosis made was that of posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. This case illustrates a rare complication associated with ureteroscopy, highlighting the importance of increased awareness and rigorous postoperative monitoring, especially in patients with risk factors such as anemia or hypertension. Fortunately, the patient's rapid and complete recovery is encouraging, suggesting that early identification and appropriate management can lead to a favorable prognosis.
