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

Introduction: The etiology and risk factors of the extremely rare retinal artery occlusion (RAO) in pediatric patients are poorly understood. We report a case of transient branch RAO (BRAO) patent foramen ovale (PFO)-related left circulation thromboembolism. Observations: A healthy sixteen-year-old female presented with painless decreased vision in her left eye. Examinations revealed ischemic edema of a localized sector of the macular area and delayed artero-venous blood transit. Following neurological, cardiological and genetic examinations, a diagnosis and subsequent treatment for PFO were undertaken. Conclusions and importance: This rare case shows that a PFO should be always considered as a potential etiology of RAO in young patients, thus highlighting the importance of investigating all potential sources of embolisms to prevent further ischemic events.
