Decade-long analysis of postoperative endophthalmitis in Sweden: Insights from insurance and national quality registers.

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
Purpose: To analyse clinical characteristics and risk factors for post-operative endophthalmitis (POE) in a Swedish patient insurance database and compare prevalence of POE with two national quality registers. Methods: We analysed 218 medical records of patients who claimed compensation for POE following ocular surgery from 2010 to 2020. The data were cross-referenced with national quality registers. Results: In total, 189 of 218 patients presented with severe ocular inflammation with no visibility into the posterior fundus and 160 of 218 had hypopyon. After treatment, the best corrected visual acuity improved from 2.4 to 1.8 LogMAR in mean (p < 0.01). Poorer visual outcome was associated with POE caused by Conclusion: This study highlights the impact of bacterial type on visual recovery in POE. Peripheral vitrectomy showed better outcomes than central vitrectomy. Most patients needing enucleation or evisceration were not treated with vitrectomy. Significant discrepancies were found between POE prevalence in quality registers and insurance reports, indicating the need for better reporting, though the exact magnitude of underreporting remains unclear.
