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
objectiveIntended to investigate the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors and incidence trend of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery in recent 12 years.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on the patients who underwent cataract surgery in Qingdao Eye Hospital from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2019, including age, sex, history of diabetes, intraoperative operation and complications. In addition, the related risk factors and incidence trend of acute infective endophthalmitis were analyzed. The incidence of endophthalmitis and its related factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
resultsA total of 55,612 cases of cataract surgery were performed in our hospital in 12 years, and 42 cases of acute infective endophthalmitis occurred (the incidence rate was 0.076%). The average occurrence time was 10.57 days ± 11.17, with eye pain as the main complaint and anterior chamber fibrin exudation as the main clinical manifestation. In addition, there were eight cases of anterior chamber hypopyon and 18 cases of vitreous reaction, the results of anterior aqueous humor or vitreous fluid culture in 10 patients were positive. Univariate analysis showed that intraoperative rupture of posterior capsule, non-use of antibiotics and non-use of behind-the-lens washout were the risk factors of infectious endophthalmitis after cataract surgery (P=0.032, P=0.000, P=0.000). Besides, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative rupture of posterior capsule was the main risk factor.
conclusionThe occurrence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery is mainly related to intraoperative rupture of posterior capsule, absence of antibiotics and behind-the-lens washout. In addition, the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery decreased during the past 12 years.
