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

purposeTo review the clinical features, risk factors, microbiological profile, and treatment regimens of fungal keratitis in Galicia, a region in Northwestern Spain with temperate humid weather. PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective case series was employed, including patients with fungal keratitis from nine hospitals within the region of Galicia, Spain, between 2010 and 2020. Data obtained from clinical records were analysed.

resultsOut of 654 cases of infectious keratitis, 77 cases (9.9%) were identified as fungal keratitis. The median age of affected patients was 68.0 years, with a higher incidence in rural areas (62.3%).
