Terminal Glaucoma Mimicking Posterior Cerebral Artery Infarction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Visual disturbances such as homonymous hemianopia and visual hallucinations often suggest central nervous system pathology, particularly occipital lobe infarction. However, ocular conditions may present similarly and lead to misdiagnosis. We report the case of a 73-year-old man presenting with right-sided visual field deficits and visual hallucinations, initially suggestive of posterior cerebral artery stroke. Neuroimaging and electroencephalograms were unremarkable. Further ophthalmologic evaluation revealed advanced normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) with bilateral field constriction and significant optic nerve cupping, consistent with terminal-stage NTG. The visual hallucinations were attributed to Charles Bonnet syndrome. This case underscores the importance of including ocular etiologies in the differential diagnosis of stroke mimics, particularly in elderly patients with visual complaints.
