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

Diagnosis of acanthamoeba keratitis is often a clinical challenge. In most cases it is primarily confused with herpes keratitis. A coinfection with bacteria or fungi can also lead to a delayed diagnosis and initiation of treatment. A few cases reported the detection of acanthamoeba in the anterior chamber. In the case of endophthalmitis without the detection of bacteria or fungi acanthamoeba should therefore always be considered as a potential differential diagnosis. The local and systemic administration of voriconazole can be successfully used to treat acanthamoeba endophthalmitis.
