Sequential bilateral retinal artery occlusions with promising visual prognosis in a diabetic patient: a case report and literature review.
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
backgroundBilateral retinal artery occlusion (RAO) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an extremely rare condition. Even with rigorous treatment, RAO often results in devastating visual impairment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old female with Type 2 diabetes mellitus was referred to our hospital. Notably, she developed bilateral RAO sequentially within a mere five-month period. This rapid progression of the disease in both eyes is of particular interest. OBSERVATIONS: Fundus examination confirmed branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) in her left eye and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in her right eye. After timely intra-arterial thrombolysis, significant bilateral visual recovery was achieved. The patient's visual acuity in the left eye improved from 20/400 to 20/100 and in the right eye from 20/2000 to 20/33.3, indicating the effectiveness of this treatment approach in this case. Further examinations also showed positive results: the cherry-red spot in the macula disappeared, FFA indicated improved retinal artery perfusion, and OCT revealed a certain degree of restoration in the retinal structure.
conclusionThis case highlights that metabolic disorders, like hyperlipidemia and diabetes, can be considered high-risk factors for the development of RAO. Prompt and effective intervention, such as timely intra-arterial thrombolysis, as demonstrated in this case, is crucial for preserving patients' visual prognosis.
