Fungal keratitis caused by rare organisms.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purposeTo report two rare cases of filamentous fungal keratitis.
methodsTwo non-consecutive patients presented with suspicious fungal keratitis. After performing the smear and culture, medical therapy was started for them. They underwent slit photography and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) in their follow-up visits.
resultsThe patients were 33-year-old and 56-year-old farmer men. They both mentioned a history of ocular trauma by plants. During their follow-up visits, corneal infiltration density and fungal hyphae density decreased in slit-lamp biomicroscopy and IVCM, respectively. The corresponding organisms were
conclusionsIt is important to be aware of these rare organisms and their antibiotic susceptibility. There was not any specific confocal feature for the presented fungal keratitis that was different from other filamentous fungal hyphae; however, confocal scan is a good choice to follow the response to the treatment.
