Increased prevalence of transient visual disturbances with normal ocular exam findings in pregnancy - cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Pregnancy induces significant physiological changes in women, impacting various bodily systems. These alterations can influence ocular health and visual function. Ophthalmologists at our center noted an apparent increase in reports of transient binocular visual disturbances among pregnant women presenting to the Ophthalmic Emergency Room (OER), with no ophthalmic findings. This study aims to examine the rate of Transient Visual Disturbances with Normal Ocular Examination (TraViNo) in pregnant vs. non-pregnant women of childbearing age. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sheba Medical Center, analyzing data from 562 females between 18 and 50 years of age who presented to the OER during January-March 2019. Data retrieved from the participants' medical records included demographics, medical history, symptoms, comprehensive ophthalmological evaluation findings, and final diagnoses recorded at the OER. Included were 562 females (mean age 31.2 ± 9.0 years), among whom 69 (12.0%) were pregnant (mean pregnancy week 25 ± 11). The mean age was similar for both groups (P = 0.2). Presenting symptoms varied between the groups (P < 0.001), with the most common being visual disturbances in the pregnant group (PG) (58%). TraViNo was the final diagnosis in 86 (15%) study women and significantly more common in the PG (48% vs. 11%, respectively, P < 0.001). Most cases (74%) were bilateral. The additional workup included neurologic examinations in 45 (66%) cases, brain/orbital imaging in 28 (33%), and visual field testing in 8 (12%). Obstetric evaluations performed in the PG were normal except for 2 cases of hypertension. TraViNo is more common during pregnancy. Further research is warranted to identify underlying causes and long-term implications.
