How bad can vision get in beta-thalassemia? A case report and review of the literature.
Review in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. 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
backgroundReview various causes of optic disc-related decreased vision and present a rare anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) case in a patient with beta-thalassemia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old man with a known case of major beta-thalassemia presented with a chief complaint of acute decrease in central and peripheral vision in the right eye. The patient was on deferoxamine and had previous splenectomy surgery. Fundus examination revealed visible vascular obstruction, more prominent superior disc swelling, hyperemia, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) edema in the right eye. After 6 months, the visual acuity improved in the follow-up examination, and the fundus examination revealed subtle right disc pallor.
conclusionAION with visible vascular occlusion can be a rare retinal cause of acute decreased vision in beta-thalassemia patients.
