Bilateral methanol-induced optic neuropathy following hand sanitizer ingestion.

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: We report a case of a child with bilateral methanol-induced optic neuropathy highlighting the importance of early recognition and possible treatment options. Observations: An 11-year-old female with history of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and pica presented with a few hours of bilateral "spotty" vision and dizziness. Several hours prior to presentation, the patient ingested an unknown amount of recalled hand sanitizer. The child had normal vision, but dilated exam was notable for mild bilateral optic disc edema. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) showed global thickening in both eyes. Given these findings of end-organ toxicity, the patient was urgently started on hemodialysis. Conclusions and importance: Pediatric patients with ASD often have co-morbid eating disorders such as pica or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). This population of patients is especially susceptible to toxic optic neuropathies related to restricted nutritional intake and toxic ingestion. A high clinical suspicion and early recognition is key to prompt treatment and visual recovery.
