Postoperative bilateral visual loss after a single dose of tranexamic acid.
Article in Anaesthesia reports. 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
A 32-year-old woman presented with transient visual loss following the intra-operative administration of a single intravenous dose of tranexamic acid during urgent cholecystectomy. Apart from obesity, the patient had no notable medical history or pre-existing ocular conditions. Immediately after surgery, the patient reported sudden onset blindness. Ophthalmological and radiologic assessments did not reveal any detectable macrovascular or organic ophthalmic lesions. The patient's vision gradually improved spontaneously, with the resolution of the dyschromatopsia on the first postoperative day and complete recovery by the second postoperative day. This case highlights the importance of prompt investigation of acute visual impairment postoperatively and identifying potential causative agents, such as tranexamic acid.
