1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Graphium eumorphum is rarely associated with mycotic keratitis. We report the case of a 30-year-old female presented with complaints of redness and defective vision in the left eye for one month. Gram staining and 10% KOH wet mount of corneal smears revealed fungal filaments. On potato dextrose agar, fast growing greyish white colonies turning grayish black on maturity was obtained. Lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) staining confirmed the isolate as Graphium eumorphum. The infection was resolved with the combination of natamycin, econazole and itraconazole.
