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

To evaluate the changes in functional vision in patients with resolved endophthalmitis. This was a cross-sectional study. The study included 20 patients with resolved endophthalmitis and best-corrected visual acuity of 20/100 or better. Visual acuity (VA), contrast threshold (CT), red/green (RG) and yellow/blue (YB) colour vision and 15 Hz flicker modulation threshold (FMT) were assessed using standard psychophysical techniques. The median age was 54 years. The median visual acuity was 0.27 (~ 20/40-Snellen Equivalent) ((interquartile range [IQR]), 0.30) logMAR). The median log contrast threshold (CT) was - 1.13 (IQR, 0.36) log units (normative value for age-matched CT: - 1.61 log units). The median red/green (RG) and yellow/blue (YB) thresholds were 11.52 (IQR, 26.19) and 9.45 (IQR, 16.20) CAD units respectively, which were at least 5 times higher than age-matched normative RG and YB thresholds. The median central cone- mediated FMT was 17.64% (IQR, 23.40%), which was much higher compared to age-matched FMT (5.48% [IQR, 3.47]). Linear regression revealed significant relationship between contrast thresholds and foveal thickness (y = 0.001x-1.47, R
