Microbial Spectrum and Resistance Patterns in Ocular Infections: A 15-Year Review in East China.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo report antibiotic resistance rates and trends of common ocular isolates collected over a 15-year period.
methodsWe collected 3533 isolates from July 1, 2005 to July 31, 2020. Antibiotic sensitivity was determined according to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Chi-squared (
resultsAmong the 3533 isolates, the predominant pathogens were the staphylococcal species. Methicillin resistance was observed in 381
conclusionStaphylococci were the most common microorganisms responsible for causing ocular infections. Antibiotic resistance was high among staphylococci, with nearly half of these isolates were resistant to methicillin and these had a high probability of concurrent resistance among MR staphylococci to other antibiotics. Overall, ocular resistance did not significantly change during the 15-year study period. We conclude that continued surveillance of antibiotic resistance provides critical data to guide antibiotic selection.
