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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveTo report on the microbiology, management, and visual outcomes of intravitreal injection (IVI)-associated, culture-proven endophthalmitis. PATIENTS AND

methodsAll patients seen at a tertiary referral center with culture-proven endophthalmitis associated with an IVI between June 2007 and July 2017 were included in this retrospective analysis.

resultsThirty-five patients with culture-positive endophthalmitis following IVI were identified. All gram-positive organisms (34 of 35) were susceptible to vancomycin. Cases due to pathogens associated with oral or respiratory flora were common (31.4%, n = 11), presented earlier (2.0 days vs. 4.6 days, P < .001), were more likely to undergo pars plana vitrectomy (81.8% vs. 25.0%, P = .002) and had worse visual acuity outcomes.

conclusionIVI-associated endophthalmitis pathogens and anti-microbial susceptibilities in the Pacific Northwest are similar to those reported from other geographic locations. Bacteria associated with the oral and respiratory flora are common isolates that result in a more aggressive course and worse visual outcomes.
