Menigococcal endophthalmitis: A rare cause of endogenous endophthalmitis.
Article in IDCases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Neisseria meningitidis is a rare but severe cause of endogenous endophthalmitis. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman who presented an endophthalmitis secondary to an infection by Neisseria meningitidis that caused with meningitis. She was treated with corticosteroids and systemic and topical antimicrobials, but she presented loss of visual acuity as a consequence. We also review the cases reported in medical literature, and find out that 75.7 % of patients presented diverse complications. The prevalence of complications is higher in patients who received local treatment in combination with antibiotics. Patients who received corticosteroids as treatment presented a similar rate of complications than patients who did not.
