Unusual microbiological presentations in polymicrobial post-operative endophthalmitis and their clinical correlations.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 the clinical course, microbiological spectrum and visual outcomes of three cases of post-operative endophthalmitis caused by unusual combination of micro-organisms.
methodsRetrospective review of medical charts at a tertiary eye care centre over a period of 1 year, of subjects with post-operative endophthalmitis and more than one microbiological isolate.
resultsWe report 3 cases with unusual combination of microorganisms. In case 1, two organisms (Burkholderia cepacia and Aeromonas veronii, from the vitreous cavity and capsular bag, respectively) with an identical antibiotic sensitivity pattern were found, while in case 2, the organisms (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Sphingomonas paucimobilis, from cornea and vitreous cavity, respectively) isolated had different sensitivity patterns. In case 3, two different strains of the same organism (Enterococcus faecalis) were found. Cases 1 and 2 achieved good anatomical and visual outcomes, while in case 3, vision remained poor despite a good anatomical outcome.
conclusionUnusual combinations of organisms in post-operative endophthalmitis can introduce unique clinical characteristics and should specifically be considered in atypical clinical presentations, poor response to standard therapy and unusual recurrence patterns.
