Acute Cortical Blindness Following Acute Carbon Monoxide Intoxication Due to Gas Geyser Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Accidental carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is common during the winters. The use of gas geysers by Indian households during this season for heating purposes may inadvertently lead to brain injury. Such cases can be misdiagnosed as seizures, resulting in inappropriate treatment. Typically, CO poisoning results in bilateral damage to the globus pallidus, while injury to the cortical gray matter is less common. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain done within the first 24 hours might not detect all the damage, so it's important to have a follow-up MRI within 3-7 days for a more accurate assessment. Our case presents a unique instance of CO poisoning where the patient exhibited near-symmetric posterior gray matter damage, without involvement of the basal ganglia, resulting in acute cortical blindness following exposure to a gas geyser. The awareness of this unusual and peculiar clinical and radiological presentation in gas geyser-related cases should encourage clinicians to adopt a more proactive approach.
