Management of bulbar conjunctival injury by honeybee sting: A case report of a retained honeybee stinger.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo report a rare case of a bee sting to the conjunctiva of the eye in which the stinger remains in the subconjunctival space. OBSERVATIONS: We present the case of a fifty-five-year-old male who sustained a honeybee sting to the conjunctiva of his left eye after which some stinger remnants were left in place. He was initially treated with topical antibiotics, and topical and systemic steroids were added the next day. His visual acuity recovered fully with this regimen, despite later visualization of a retained bee stinger in the subconjunctival space. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Our experience suggests that though immediate removal of a stinger in the case of a bee sting to the eye is likely the safest approach, the long-term persistence of a bee stinger in the conjunctiva may not pose a threat to visual acuity and ocular health.
