1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Purtscher-like Retinopathy after otorhinolaryngological surgery is extremely rare. In this case report we present a patient with Purtscher-like Retinopathy after endoscopic surgery of the left sphenopalatine artery. Observations: A 62-year-old woman presented herself with painless vision reduction one day after endoscopic treatment of the left sphenopalatine artery with an incidental opening of the dura. The funduscopic examination revealed bilaterally multiple peripapillary cotton wool spots as well as a single retinal hemorrhage superior of the optic disc. The clinical findings resolved over the following weeks, and the patient showed a self-limiting improvement of the visual acuity. Conclusion and importance: The case suggests Purtscher-like Retinopathy as a complication after incidental dural opening in endoscopic treatment of the left sphenopalatine artery.
