Case Report: Poor Outcome Despite Aggressive Management in Pythium insidiosum Endophthalmitis.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2023. 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
Pythium insidiosum is a parasitic oomycete that can cause keratitis and closely resembles fungus, both clinically and morphologically. It requires a trained microbiologist for its differentiation from fungal filaments and has poor response to antifungal therapy. We present a case of primary isolation of the organism from the vitreous cavity in a case of endophthalmitis. The infection spread quickly and involved all the ocular tissues. The eye had poor visual outcome despite a sequence of rapidly completed retinal and corneal surgeries along with initiation of anti-Pythium therapy.
