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

purposeTo report the clinical features, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, treatment, and visual acuity (VA) outcomes of endophthalmitis caused by

designRetrospective case series. SUBJECTS: Patients with endophthalmitis caused by

methodsMicrobiology database records were retrospectively reviewed for all patients with endophthalmitis caused by

main outcome measurespresenting clinical features, visual acuity outcomes, and antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

resultsOf 10 patients identified, clinical settings included post-cataract surgery (n = 6), post-penetrating keratoplasty (n = 2), and post-trabeculectomy (n = 2). The mean time from surgical procedure to presentation with endophthalmitis was 6.8 months (range: 1 day to 28 months). All isolates were vancomycin susceptible. Presenting VA ranged from 7/200 to no light perception. Initial treatment strategies were vitreous tap and intravitreal antibiotic injection (n = 5) and pars plana vitrectomy with intravitreal antibiotic injection (n = 5). VA outcomes were ≥ 20/60 in 5 (50%) of 10 patients and ≤ 20/400 in 5 (50%) of 10 patients.

conclusionsThe most common clinical setting was post-cataract surgery. All isolates were susceptible to vancomycin. Despite prompt treatment with appropriate antibiotics, there were variable visual outcomes.
