Purtscher-like Retinopathy in a Patient with Acute Pancreatitis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in The Brown journal of hospital medicine, 2023. 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
Purtscher-like retinopathy is a rare chorioretinopathy associated with a non-traumatic inciting event including acute pancreatitis, renal failure, long-bone injury, chest compression, connective tissue diseases and hematologic disorders. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with abdominal pain and visual changes that was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral diffuse flame hemorrhages and retinal whitening (Purtscher flecken), which were diagnostic of Purtscher-like retinopathy secondary to acute pancreatitis. The patient improved without intravenous or intravitreal corticosteroid administration. Follow up at 5 and 8 months revealed improved vision, complete resolution of the retinal pathology with residual inner retinal thickening on ocular coherence tomography (OCT), consistent with sustained retinal damage. Given that Purtscher-like retinopathy is associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates in patients with acute pancreatitis, high suspicion of this pathology and a thorough clinical assessment are imperative. Since half of the patients suffer life-long visual changes, further research is required for the development of efficacious treatment options.
