Prognostic Factors and Visual Outcomes of Pyogenic Liver Abscess-Related Endogenous Klebsiella pneumoniae Endophthalmitis: A 20-year retrospective review.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Endogenous K. pneumoniae endophthalmitis (EKE) has a higher incidence among East Asians, and the most common infectious source of EKE is pyogenic liver abscess (PLA). We investigate the risk factors for poor visual outcomes in patients with PLA-related EKE. The retrospective medical records of 104 patients (120 eyes) diagnosed with PLA-related EKE between 1996 and 2015. In univariate logistic regression analysis, the risk factors for poor visual outcomes were initial visual acuity (VA) worse than counting fingers (CF) (p < 0.001), eye pain (p = 0.013), hypopyon (p = 0.003), ocular hypertension (p = 0.003), positive intraocular fluids cultures (p < 0.001), subretinal abscess (p = 0.025), unilateral involvement (p = 0.017), delayed ophthalmologic visit (p = 0.022), initially presented with ocular symptoms ahead of systemic symptoms (p < 0.001), and corneal edema (p < 0.001). Intravitreal dexamethasone reduced the requirement of enucleation or evisceration (p = 0.01). The multivariate logistic regression revealed that poor initial VA worse than CF (p = 0.004) and initially presented with ocular symptoms ahead of systemic symptoms (p = 0.007) were the significant independent factors for poor visual outcomes. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment may salvage useful vision in some eyes.
