[Molecular biology-based methods for pathogen detection in endophthalmitis].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2007. 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
Recent developments in diagnostic molecular biology allow novel approaches in the detection of infections in ocular fluids. In endophthalmitis new PCR techniques often allow faster microbiological diagnosis than conventional culture methods. Furthermore they show a higher sensitivity and can also be applied after pre-treatment with antibiotics where culture techniques often fail. Molecular techniques are of particular use in recurrent and therapy-resistant infections. In the diagnostics of uveitis molecular approaches enable the detection of fastidious microbes and of pathogens that cannot be found by culture methods. In special situations identification even to the species level is possible. In immunocompromised patients molecular techniques show more accurate results than serological ones. However, molecular diagnostic tools also bear limitations that have to be considered.
