Bilateral Retinal Ischemia in a Child with Influenza A: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: Influenza A can cause extrapulmonary complications, including ocular manifestations. We present a rare case of extensive bilateral retinal ischemia in a pediatric patient following influenza A infection, involving acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN), paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM), and cotton-wool spots. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old boy presented with bilateral blurry vision 4 days after confirmed influenza A infection. Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/150 OD and 20/125 OS, with optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrating hyperreflective bands in the inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, and outer nuclear layer, consistent with simultaneous AMN and PAMM. Cotton-wool spots were also present. The patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone, followed by oral prednisolone. BCVA improved to 20/20 in both eyes at 10 months, with complete resolution of OCT findings. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of early ophthalmologic assessment in children with visual symptoms following viral infections and suggests a potential role for corticosteroid treatment in severe post-viral retinal ischemia. Further studies are needed to clarify the efficacy of corticosteroids in such cases.
