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

Purpose: We report a rare case of microbial keratitis caused by Observations: A 72-year-old Japanese woman was injured by plant debris and developed oval corneal ulcers and hypopyon in the anterior chamber. After 5 days, she complained of pain, redness, and vision loss in her left eye and was treated with antibacterial eye drops and an ointment (1.5 % levofloxacin hydrate, cefmenoxime hydrochloride, and sterilization and disinfection eye drops; SAN-IODE and ofloxacin ophthalmic ointment). Examination revealed a worsening oval corneal ulcer with Descemet's folds and a faint hypopyon. Considering the infection from soil or plants and the poor response to intensive antibacterial eye drops, topical antifungal eye drops, i.e., 1 % voriconazole eye drops, and 1 % natamycin ointment were applied. Direct microscopy of the corneal scraping with Gram staining was performed and the result was negative. Cultures from corneal scrapings showed the growth of dark colonies after several days. The colony was identified as Conclusions and importance: Here, we report a case of fungal keratitis caused by
