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

purposeThe aim of this article is to introduce the recent advance on the studies of fungal keratitis published over past 5 years.

methodsWe performed literature review of articles published on PubMed, Google Scholar, CNKI and Web of Science relevant to the diagnosis, pathogenesis and novel treatment of fungal keratitis.

resultsExcessive inflammation can lead to stromal damage and corneal opacification, hence the research on immune mechanism provides many potential therapeutic targets for fungal keratitis. Many researchers discussed the importance of earlier definitive diagnosis and were trying to find rapid and accurate diagnostic methods of pathogens. Develop new drug delivery systems and new routes of administration with better corneal penetration, prolonged ocular residence time, and better mucoadhesive properties is also one of the research hotspots. Additionally, many novel therapeutic agents and methods have been gradually applied in clinical ophthalmology.

conclusionThe diagnosis and treatment of fungal keratitis are still a challenge for ophthalmologist, and many researches provide new methods to conquer these problems.
