Endophthalmitis in silicone oil-filled eye: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEndophthalmitis occurring in silicone oil-filled eyes is a very rare occurrence, with reported incidence rates ranging between 0.07% and 0.039%. Traditional methods of management of infectious endophthalmitis include the removal of silicone oil, washout of the vitreous cavity, administration of intravitreal antibiotics, and re-injection of silicone oil. CASE SUMMARY: Herein, we report the case of a 39-year-old man with unilateral endophthalmitis after pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. Intravitreal injections of full-dose antibiotics and anterior chamber washout were used to treat the patient. No signs of retinal toxicity were observed during the follow-up period.
conclusionIntravitreal full-dose antibiotic injections and anterior chamber washout are promising alternatives to traditional therapies for endophthalmitis in silicone oil-filled eyes.
