Culture-proven endogenous endophthalmitis: microbiological and clinical survey.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeTo report causative organisms, visual outcomes, and associated medical conditions in endogenous endophthalmitis (EE).
methodsMicrobiological and medical reports of patients with culture-proven EE referred to Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from January 2008 to January 2018 were reviewed.
resultsA total of 144 cases (171 eyes) were included in the present study. Candida albicans (30.6%) and Staphylococcus aureus (27.1%) were the most prevalent microbial causes. Diabetes mellitus (43.8%) and IV drug abuse (10.4%) were the leading associated systemic conditions. Age of the patients (P = 0.002) and presenting corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) (P < 0.001) were correlated with postoperative CDVA. Patients with bilateral involvement had significantly lower mean logMAR (P = 0.002), and patients with hypopyon had significantly higher mean logMAR (P = 0.006). Eyes with gram-negative bacillus cultures had a significantly worse logMAR than eyes with gram-positive cocci (P = 0.009).
conclusionCandida albicans and S. aureus were the most common causes of EE, and diabetes mellitus was the most common associated medical condition. EE is associated with poor visual outcome, especially in older patients, those with worse visual acuity at presentation, and those with positive cultures for gram-negative bacilli.
