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

Panophthalmitis is an exceptionally rare but severe ocular complication of dengue fever, which is currently a significant health concern in parts of India. It is a purulent inflammation encompassing all structures of the globe (choroid, retina, vitreous fluid, aqueous fluid, cornea, sclera, and conjunctiva) along with surrounding orbital and periorbital structures. This case series highlights the occurrence of panophthalmitis in three patients diagnosed with dengue, who were aged 35, 50, and 75 years. Despite aggressive medical management, including intravenous antibiotics, the patients were ultimately scheduled for evisceration surgery due to the extreme severity of the condition. Healthcare providers must be aware of the potential ocular complications in dengue cases and diagnose them promptly. While ocular involvement in dengue is rare, this case series emphasizes the importance of recognizing ocular manifestations in dengue patients, as early diagnosis and prompt intervention can prevent severe complications.
