A rare case of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens infection in the eye: a case report.
Article in Tropical medicine and health, 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 microbial keratitis caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens (C. flaccumfaciens) infection. METHODS AND
resultsA 24-year-old male presented with pain and redness of the eye following ocular exposure to banana bell sap. He was diagnosed with infectious keratitis and underwent corneal scraping. Subsequent culture and molecular analysis identified the causative organism as C. flaccumfaciens. Keratitis clinically resolved following several weeks of topical therapy with ciprofloxacin 0.3%.
conclusionCurtobacterium flaccumfaciens is a rare and likely underdiagnosed cause of bacterial keratitis. This report provides further evidence of its pathogenic role in not only plants, but also the human cornea, especially in the tropics.
