Review of endogenous endophthalmitis during pregnancy including case series.
Review in International ophthalmology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Endogenous endophthalmitis during pregnancy is a rare condition with few reports of such infections in the peri- and post-partum period. We reviewed the literature on endogenous endophthalmitis in pregnancy and also report a series of four patients who presented to our institution from January 2011 to September 2011. We retrospectively reviewed four patients who developed endogenous endophthalmitis either during pregnancy (two patients) or in the post-partum period (two patients--one after abortion and one after normal term delivery). Presenting visual acuity ranged from finger counting at 3 m to no perception of light. Positive cultures included Bacillus mycoides (vitreous) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (urine). Vitrectomy was performed in three patients. In one patient, the vision improved to 20/20. On reviewing the literature and our experience we concluded that endogenous endophthalmitis related to pregnancy is a rare entity with visual prognosis generally being poor. Fluoroquinolones are best avoided. Cephalosporins and amphotericin B are generally the preferred drugs.
