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

Endogenous Candida endophthalmitis (ECE) has been established with microscopic histopathology, both by autopsy and experimentation, to primarily originate from and involve the choroid. Zhuang et al. examined a series of patients with ECE using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging and present a new classification scheme. The authors conclude the majority of lesions are primarily retinal in location without report of choroidal involvement. This discrepancy may be explained by posterior shadowing artifact and lack of discernment from associated retinal findings like infarction. These considerations are necessary in reviewing SD-OCT, characterizing ECE, and proposing new classification systems.
