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
A one-eyed 67-year-old man with 20/400 vision, dense cataract, previously failed trabeculectomy and medically uncontrolled advanced glaucoma underwent a single-site phacoemulsification with repeat trabeculectomy and mitomycin C. One-week postoperatively, vision in the right eye improved to 20/120, good bleb and intraocular pressure (IOP) of 14 mm Hg. By third postoperative week, patient presented to the emergency with diminished vision, pain and redness in right eye of 2 days duration and was diagnosed to have bleb-related endophthalmitis (BRE). Vitreous biopsy, smear from the bleb were taken and underwent pars plana vitrectomy with intraocular antibiotic injection. Smears and cultures were negative however, aqueous DNA-PCR was positive for
