Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Endophthalmitis is a severe intraocular infection with potentially devastating consequences, such as becoming blind or loss of an eyeball. It can be exogenous (postoperative or posttraumatic) or endogenous. The most frequent causes of postoperative endophthalmitis are cataract surgery and intravitreal injections. Typical symptoms are pain and loss of visual acuity. Hypopyon and infiltration of the vitreous body with the loss of the red reflex are the most important clinical findings for endophthalmitis. The diagnosis is primarily clinical and supported by microbiological cultures and PCR from the vitreous body and/or anterior chamber and is of use for a targeted treatment. Treatment is a combination of intravitreal, systemic, and topical antibiotics, anterior chamber lavage, and vitrectomy. The decisive factor for the prognosis is the triggering pathogen. Infections with coagulase-negative staphylococci or Candida spp. have a good prognosis. Infections with Streptococcus spp., Bacillus spp. or Aspergillus spp. are unfavorable.
