Exudative retinal detachment and hypertensive choroidopathy in a patient with suspected HELLP syndrome: a case report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe HELLP syndrome is a serious complication in pregnancy, characterized by haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count. We report a patient who was unaware of pregnancy presenting initially with bilateral visual loss and exudative retinal detachment and was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome during work-up. CASE PRESENTATION: A female patient, unaware of her pregnancy, presented with painless, severe bilateral vision loss and exudative retinal detachment. Multimodal imaging of her fundus revealed hypertensive choroidopathy and retinopathy. During systemic work-up, she was found to be 26 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome based on laboratory abnormalities. Her vision fully recovered within 4 months following urgent pregnancy termination and blood pressure control.
conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of obtaining a thorough medical history and considering pregnancy-related complications in the differential diagnosis for reproductive-age women with acute vision loss. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of this condition are essential for the recovery of patients' visual outcome.
