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
backgroundThis case report describes an extremely rare Candida lens abscess in a premature infant (gestational age 24 weeks at birth). CASE REPORT: After birth the infant suffered from Candida sepsis which was successfully treated with an antifungal medication. The patient was referred at the age of 6 months because of greyish alterations in the pupils but an absence of other symptoms. The examination with the patient under general anesthesia revealed a grey pupillary membrane and behind it a whitish swollen lens. A lensectomy was performed. The vitreous body was inconspicuous. Candida albicans was identified microbiologically.
conclusionsIn preterm infants dissemination of pathogens into the lens through the vascular coat of the lens is possible, which after regression of the coat is no longer accessible to systemic treatment and may thus be manifested as delayed abscess formation.
