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

Keratitis is a public health issue in developing countries and a potentially sight-threatening condition. Collagen fibrils in the corneal stroma are parallels to each other. Fundamental substance maintains the same space between collagen fibrils. That is how corneal transparency can be achieved. Any damage which can modify this structure will lead to corneal opacity and loss of vision. Fungal keratitis might appear in up to one-third of cases. Nevertheless, fungal keratitis remains poorly described and understood. Herein, we present the first ever reported case of corneal infection due to Phaeoacremonium parasiticum in a young patient. We describe the clinical and microbial characteristics, and we also discuss the use of confocal microscopy in early diagnosis of this infection.
