Approach to Eye Pain: Differential Diagnosis and Work Up for the Neurologist.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience 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
purpose of reviewEye pain is a common but diagnostically complex symptom. The underlying etiologies span neurologic, ophthalmologic, and systemic conditions that range from benign to vision- or life-threatening. This review aims to provide a neurologist-oriented approach to the differential diagnosis of eye pain, emphasizing clinical reasoning and red flag identification. RECENT
findingsOcular inflammation and surface disorders are commonly diagnosed etiologies for eye pain but neurologic disorders including primary headaches may be underrecognized sources of eye pain. Clinical clues like the pain description and location, patterns of visual disturbances, and other associated symptoms can guide diagnosis. Exam clues like optic disc edema, cranial nerve abnormalities, red eye pattern, ocular bruit, and intraocular pressure can guide localization and referral urgency. Integration of targeted history, key physical exam findings, and judicious use of investigations are critical for identifying vision- or life-threatening pathology. Using a focused history with targeted neurologic and ophthalmologic examinations, neurologists will be able to choose appropriate investigations and identify when urgent ophthalmology referral is required. This review outlines a systematic, symptom-based approach to eye pain so that neurologists can identify urgent conditions, improve diagnostic efficiency, and collaborate effectively with ophthalmology.
