[Coinfections in contact lens-associated mycotic keratitis with Pseudomonas or Acanthamoeba].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Contact lens-associated keratitis is becoming increasingly more frequent. Fungal keratitis is a relatively rare clinical picture but must be taken very seriously. Especially in the early stages of the disease, it may be clinically misdiagnosed and adequate treatment is therefore delayed. In treatment-resistant contact lens-associated fungal keratitis, coinfections or superinfections can occur. We present two patients with an initially unclear keratitis, in whom a fungal keratitis with coinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acanthamoeba, respectively, could be confirmed. In both cases an urgent excimer laser penetrating keratoplasty with interrupted sutures and adequate local topical treatment for 8 weeks was successful.
