[Keratomycosis: diagnosis and therapy].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Diagnosis of fungal keratitis is only straightforward if it presents in its typical form with pyramidal-shaped hypopyon, prominent geographical corneal infiltration and satellites. However, in contact-lens wearers clinical presentation is untypical at early infection. Corneal debridement is therefore necessary, which simultaneously facilitates penetration of the antimycotic into the corneal stroma. At present, voriconazole is the medication of choice, if not changed after microbiological diagnosis to a specifically more potent substance - e.g. posaconazole or caspofungin. Amphotericin B may be used for repeated intracameral or intravitreal injection. Simultaneous application of steroids is useful.
