Anterior and pan-endophthalmitis caused by Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus: report of two cases.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report two posttraumatic fungal endophthalmitis cases with anterior and entire segment involvement caused, respectively, by Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. The anterior endophthalmitis induced by C. albicans presented multifocal lesions with hyphael structures in anterior chamber, but without involvement of posterior vitreous. The pan-endophthalmitis caused by A. fumigatus displayed significant hypopyon and vitritis. Treatment strategies are anterior chamber cleaning for anterior endophthalmitis and vitrectomy for pan-endophthalmitis, excepting systemic and topical antifungal drug applications including intravitreal injection for both types of endophthalmitis. There is a much better outcome in the case with anterior segment involvement than that with entire segment involvement. This case report provides evidence that the different types of posttraumatic fungal endophthalmitis related to different fungal infections indeed existed and should be managed with different strategies.
