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

This report is on a 45-year-old male patient without underlying disease who presented with a Burkholderia pseudomallei-caused keratoscleritis in his right eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed multiple, indistinct corneal infiltrations with subconjunctival/scleral abscesses. Corneal tissue culture was positive for B. pseudomallei and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The patient was treated with fortified ceftazidime, fortified gentamicin eyedrops, and intravenous ceftazidime injection. Penetrating keratoplasty, including intracameral ceftazidime injections, was undertaken due to corneal lesion worsening. Scleral debridement with subconjunctival ceftazidime injections were undertaken due to the progression of the scleral abscess. After 2 months, the corneal and scleral lesions were inactive, and the systemic and topical antibiotics were tapered. This is the first case report of B. pseudomallei-caused keratoscleritis with photography. The patient was seen in an endemic geographical area with multiple corneal infiltrations and subconjunctival/scleral abscess. Systemic and topical antibiotics accompanied with surgery should be considered.
