Endogenous Endophthalmitis from Urinary Tract Infection Caused by Group B Streptococcus: A Case Report.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We present a case of endogenous endophthalmitis with urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by group B Streptococcus (GBS). An 86-year-old female initially presented with ocular pain and sudden visual disturbance of the left eye. The patient did not complain of other symptoms and had no history of recent ocular surgery or trauma. Endogenous endophthalmitis was clinically diagnosed based on ophthalmic examination, history, and lab results showing systemic infection. A few days later, GBS was identified in her aqueous humor, blood, and urine cultures. Intravitreal ceftazidime and vancomycin injections, as well as fortified ceftazidime and vancomycin eye drops, were used immediately after clinical diagnosis. However, the symptoms worsened despite repeated intravitreal injections, so evisceration was performed. Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by GBS is very virulent and may present without evident systemic symptoms. The early recognition of the disease and systemic work up, followed by prompt treatment, is necessary.
