Fungal keratitis caused by Pseudallescheria boydii: clinical and mycological characteristics.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic inflammation and infection, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundPseudallescheria keratitis is rare but important type of fungal keratitis because of the inherently resistance of the organism to many existing antifungal agents.
methodsSlit-lamp and confocal microscopy were used for clinical examinations. Fungal isolates were identified based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS). In vitro antifungal susceptibility testing for fungal isolates was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, M38-A2).
resultAll patients had a history of ocular trauma. In clinical examination hypopion were seen in three patients. The main antifungal medications were topical voriconazole. After treatment the visual acuity of all patients improved in 2-3 weeks.
conclusionAll four patients of Pseudallescheria keratitis had similar clinical features. Accurate and rapid identification of species should be helpful in treating p. boydii keratitis.
