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

We examined the effectiveness and adverse events of using balanced salt solution (BSS) PLUS containing 0.025% povidone-iodine, a non-oculotoxic concentration, for capsular bag irrigation in a case of endophthalmitis mainly involving the anterior chamber. A 57-year-old female underwent cataract surgery and developed hypopyon on day 3 after surgery, with mainly anterior chamber inflammation. The capsular bag was irrigated with BSS PLUS containing 0.025% povidone-iodine. Gram-negative rods were detected from the anterior chamber fluid. Post-procedural visual acuity was 24/20. In a case, endophthalmitis was resolved and there were no adverse events. With the recent increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria, use of 0.025% povidone-iodine in BSS PLUS for anterior chamber irrigation is expected to be useful.
