A Case of Neonatal Chlamydial Conjunctivitis: Illustrating the Typical Aspects of Presentation and the Importance of Empiric Treatment and a Multidisciplinary Approach.
Article in Cureus, 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
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common cause of infectious neonatal conjunctivitis in the United States and worldwide. If left untreated, it can cause scarring of the cornea or conjunctiva. Furthermore, neonatal chlamydial conjunctivitis is not infrequently associated with chlamydial pneumonia, making this type of neonatal conjunctivitis important to recognize and treat. We present a case of neonatal chlamydial conjunctivitis that occurred despite routine prenatal screening and the use of erythromycin ophthalmic ointment at birth. The case illustrates many of the typical aspects of the presentation of this condition as well as the importance of empiric treatment and a multidisciplinary approach, involving not only ophthalmology and pediatrics but infectious diseases and social services, when appropriate.
