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

A 55-year-old woman presented with a stromal wooden foreign body (FB) in the left cornea. The deep corneal stroma wooden FB was removed using vitreoretinal FB forceps as a scoop. In this innovative technique, a 26-gauge needle was used to open the track of the wooden FB. The FB was trapped in the concavity of one limb of the vitreoretinal FB forceps. The vitreoretinal forceps were gradually withdrawn and the FB was removed. The patient was treated with gatifloxacin and voriconazole six times, and atropine 1% three times daily. The patient did not develop infiltrate or hypopyon in 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, gatifloxacin and voriconazole were reduced to four times a day; and atropine to two times a day. After 6 weeks topical medication was stopped. The patient achieved a best-corrected visual acuity (OS) of 6/9 at 8 weeks and maintained it through 7 months of follow-up.
