Endophthalmitis after intravitreal injections versus cataract surgery: a 15-year cohort.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 compare the clinical features, visual outcomes and causative organisms between endophthalmitis secondary to cataract surgery or to intravitreal injections (IVI).
settingMeir Medical Center, Kfar Saba, Israel.
designRetrospective, non-randomized comparative chart review.
methodsMedical records of patients with proven or suspected endophthalmitis admitted to the Ophthalmology Department at Meir Medical Center 2/2002-2/2017 were reviewed. Clinical characteristics including presenting and final visual acuity (VA) outcomes, causative organisms and time to admission were assessed.
resultsAmong 84 patients in our study, 35 had preceding cataract surgery and 12 had preceding IVI. The post-cataract group showed a significant improvement in VA following treatment with a presenting and final VA (logMar ± SD) of (1.80 ± 0.54 and 1.39 ± 0.65, P < 0.01) as opposed to the post-IVI group (1.72 ± 0.26 and 1.81 ± 0.32, P = 0.692), while most patients in the cataract group exhibited some degree of VA recovery (70.96%). Patients undergoing cataract surgery were divided into two separate groups; those who underwent cataract surgery in a private center and those operated at a public center. Patients undergoing surgery at a private medical center showed improvement in VA outcomes following treatment (1.80 ± 0.57 and 1.13 ± 0.66, P < 0.01) as opposed to those operated on at our public medical center.
conclusionsOverall, patients with endophthalmitis following cataract surgery had better visual outcomes and were more likely to show a VA improvement following treatment when compared with endophthalmitis following IVI. Final VA outcomes of patients with endophthalmitis after cataract surgery performed in a private center were better than those operated on and treated in a public medical center.
