Infantile Acute Conjunctivitis Induced by β-Lactamase-Positive Amoxicillin-Clavulanate-Resistant Strain of Haemophilus influenzae: A Report of Three Cases.
Article in Eye & contact lens, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study is a retrospectively recruited case series. We report three infants with acute conjunctivitis induced by β-lactamase-positive, ampicillin/clavulanic acid-resistant strains of Haemophilus influenzae (BLPACR). Patients with BLPACR-positive cultures were recruited from among 5,107 patients with inflammatory diseases of the ocular surface who underwent examinations, including bacterial culturing of conjunctival sac or corneal scrapings, between 2000 and 2015. Three BLPACR-positive patients were recruited, including a 10-month-old boy, a 4-month-old girl, and a 7-month-old girl. All three demonstrated BLPACR conjunctivitis. The clinical findings in these patients included fever, mucopurulent discharge, lid swelling, and conjunctival hyperemia. Samples of conjunctival swabs were obtained from all three infants, and BLPACR was isolated from all these conjunctival swabs. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed sensitivity to levofloxacin and resistance to ampicillin, cefaclor, and clarithromycin. We conclude that in infantile BLPACR conjunctivitis, simultaneous investigation for the determination of causative organism and antibiotic susceptibility testing are crucial aspects of the medical treatment.
