Pearls and paradigms in Infective Keratitis.
Review in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07452588 (Effect of Sodium Chloride 5% Solution as an Adjuvant Treatment With Antimicrobial Therapy in the Treatment of Bacterial Infectious Keratitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
Infective Keratitis is a commonly encountered sight-threatening ocular emergency. In developing countries, it is a major cause of corneal blindness. Empirical treatment without microbiological work up often leads to treatment failure. Indiscriminate use of steroid antibiotic combination worsens the situation and makes further management challenging. The correct line of management can be potentially sight saving for both the ophthalmologist and the patient. This article on Infective keratitis has been written keeping best practices and protocols in mind. In a very simple and concise form, it focuses on the salient features of clinical presentation of infective keratitis and the stepwise approach to subsequent management in a patient. It explains in detail the way to perform corneal scraping, the importance of the same and further management based on microbiologically proven result. The management part includes indications and methods for medical as well as surgical intervention. We aimed to share our experience in the management of patients presenting with infective keratitis in the clinic.
