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

backgroundParacentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM), which is a microvasculopathy characterized by ischemic injury to the middle retinal layers, typically presents with acute-onset paracentral scotomas, PAMM is often monocular, and may lead to permanent visual field defects. CASE PRESENTATION: In this case report, we present a patient with acute paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) due to internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD), without any other systemic symptoms. A 37-year-old male presented with acute visual impairment in his left eye. Cerebral angiography confirmed ICAD. His visual acuity and function significantly improved following internal carotid artery angioplasty and thrombectomy.

conclusionsThis case underscores the need for ophthalmologists to maintain heightened awareness of potential carotid pathology in patients presenting with PAMM. Concurrently, neurologists should closely monitor retinal perfusion status in patients with ICAD. Multidisciplinary collaboration and precision medicine strategies are pivotal for optimizing patient outcomes.
