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

purposeThe clinical aspects and prognosis of eyes with endogenous endophthalmitis were compared over the last ten years. The occurrence and progression of endophthalmitis are linked to the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and clinical features.

methodsThe study comprised patients with endogenous endophthalmitis and 64 patients without endophthalmitis who were treated at Hebei Province Eye Hospital in the last ten years. According to the prognostic visual acuity, patients with endophthalmitis were split into two groups: Group A and Group B. Underlying disease (hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis), infection risk (liver abscess, urinary tract infection, and recent abdominal surgery), signs and symptoms, and complete blood count were among the evaluation parameters (neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, platelet count, red blood cell distribution width). The NLR, PLR, MLR, and SII values were calculated. A nonparametric test was used to examine the clinical features and complete blood count results of patients in each group. To determine the parameters linked to endophthalmitis progression, researchers used principal component and ordinal logistic regression analyses.

resultsThe study comprised a total of 25 eyes and 22 individuals with endogenous endophthalmitis. Infectious bacteria included Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus hemolyticus, and so on. The visual acuity of the affected eye ranged from 2.7 (1.55, 2.7) LogMAR to 1.22 (0.6, 2.7) LogMAR during the 6-month to 8-year follow-up period. The neutrophil, monocyte, and PLT counts, NLR, PLR, and SII values and other markers were considerably higher in Groups A and B than in the control group. The likelihood model of the SII and sex, age, onset time, diabetes, hypertension, monocyte count, and red blood cell distribution was the best, and its increase was strongly connected with the occurrence and progression of endophthalmitis, according to ordinal regression analysis.

conclusionPatients with endophthalmitis had significantly higher blood neutrophil, monocyte, and PLT counts and SII, NLR, PLR, and MLR values. The SII can be employed as a biomarker for predicting endophthalmitis severity and prognosis.
