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
Moraxella species are gram-negative diplobacilli and are rare cause of bacterial keratitis. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman presented with pain, redness and profound decrease in vision in both eyes for 2 weeks. One month back she had been treated as acute follicular conjunctivitis elsewhere. She had been treated with ofloxacin drops. On examination, she had central oval full-thickness infiltrate with thinning of cornea and hypopyon in both eyes. She had pseudomembrane in the tarsal conjunctiva. Corneal culture, done separately, showed isolation of Moraxella species, which was resistant to fluoroquinolones. She responded to fortified amikacin and ulcer healed with best-corrected vision of 6/24 and 6/18 in right and left eye respectively. Moraxella keratitis can cause severe keratitis. Conjunctivitis may be complicated by keratitis. Antibiotic resistance can cause problem. Bilateral keratitis should be referred promptly to higher centers if not responding well to treatment.
