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
Purpose: To determine whether soluble-triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) could serve as a reliable diagnostic biomarker of post-traumatic bacterial endophthalmitis (PTBE). Methods: Thirty-two patients (32 eyes) clinically diagnosed having PTBE were further divided into a culture-positive (CP) group and a culture-negative (CN) group. Sixty-two patients (62 eyes) without traumatic endophthalmic infection were also enrolled. Twenty-one eyes from 11 donors without globe ocular injuries were included as control group. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels were detected by ELISA. The expression and tissue distribution of TREM-1 were revealed by immunohistochemistry. The diagnostic value of sTREM-1 was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The correlation between sTREM-1 concentration and final best-corrected visual acuity (FBCVA) and Peyman endophthalmitis score (PES) were also assessed. Results: The vitreous sTREM-1 level in the PTBE group was higher than that in noninfected group and control group (P < 0.05). No remarkable difference was found between the CP group and the CN group in vitreous sTREM-1 levels (P > 0.05). No remarkable difference was found between the noninfected group and the control group (P > 0.05). No remarkable difference in TREM-1 level was found before and after intravitreal antibiotics (P > 0.05). TREM-1 was selectively highly expressed on the surface of cell membrane of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages infiltrated in vitreous and uveal of the PTBE group. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.79 (>0.75), with a medium diagnostic efficiency. The sensitivity and specificity of sTREM-1 to differentiate PTBE from the noninfected intraocular condition were 62.50% and 86.25% separately. A cutoff value >524.50 pg/mL for sTREM-1 was predicted to be PTBE. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels in PTBE group were positively correlated with PES (r = 0.428, P < 0.05). However, sTREM-1 levels and FBCVA did not significantly correlate with one another (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The sTREM-1 was a promising diagnostic biomarker of PTBE, especially CN-PTBE. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels were linked with intraocular inflammation levels and severity of PTBE.
