1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present the case of a 72-year-old male who developed Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) following a right retinal artery occlusion. Complex visual hallucinations are the main symptom of CBS in persons with substantial vision loss. It has been conventionally associated with bilateral severe impairment, but recent observations indicate under-recognised monocular cases that offer equally notable incidences of CBS. This case highlights the importance of recognising that CBS can also occur in monocular blindness and its underdiagnosed prevalence in current literature. In order to avoid the misidentification of CBS in unilateral vision loss and to empower patients with information and empathy, increased focus on recognising monocular CBS and providing targeted guidance for patients is required.
