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

Fungal endophthalmitis is subsequent to endogenous or exogenous infection and represents an important complication of ocular surgery which may lead to significant visual loss and blindness. The prognosis is poor because of delayed diagnosis and limited availability of effective antifungal drugs with good ocular penetration. Furthermore, the critical issue in diagnosing fungal infection of the eye is microbiological identification of the etiologic agent in clinical samples. Aspergillus is among the most frequent isolated organisms in fungal endophthalmitis. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent severe complications and blindness. Treatments include local, systemic and surgical therapeutic strategies. The purpose of the present review is the analysis of the current procedures adopted to promptly diagnose and treat Aspergillus endophthalmitis.
