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

purposeWe present a case of misdiagnosed fungal keratitis due to a bilateral nummular presentation. OBSERVATIONS: A 41-year-old female patient, contact lens wearer, presented initially at an optometrist with acute bilateral blurred vision and photophobia. She was found on exam to have multiple round stromal infiltrates bilaterally. She did not have significant ocular surface issues prior and had no history of topical steroid use. Adenovirus testing was negative, and she was started on a topical antibiotic-steroid combination. She did not improve and was referred for further evaluation. We initially suspected a herpetic infection and began treatment with oral antivirals. Cultures came back positive for
