Blinded by occlusion: transforming painless vision loss assessment in the ED.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 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
Painless vision loss presents a diagnostic conundrum for Emergency Medicine physicians, encompassing a spectrum of differential diagnoses ranging from benign to potentially serious conditions. Among these, Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) stands out as a critical diagnosis requiring prompt recognition and intervention. In the Emergency Department, identifying CRAO poses a unique challenge due to its reliance on a fundoscopic examination, a procedure that may not be routinely performed by emergency physicians. This case series highlights the utility of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in aiding the rapid bedside identification of CRAO by recognizing the retrobulbar spot sign (RBSS). Our findings underscore the importance of integrating ultrasound into the armamentarium of emergency physicians for expeditious recognition and management of ophthalmologic emergencies such as CRAO.
