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

Endophthalmitis is a blinding disease that may lead to permanent vision loss. The diagnosis of endophthalmitis relies on clinical findings. It is crucial to identify causative microorganisms in time for subsequent treatment and saving vision. For a long time, cultures of vitreous and/or aqueous humours have been the gold standard for the diagnosis of endophthalmitis. The development of modern molecular diagnostic techniques has brought new opportunities for identifying pathogens rapidly and improving sensitivity. Intravitreal antibiotic injection has the become standard treatment option for infectious endophthalmitis in clinical practice, however, the role and timing of pars plana vitrectomy remains controversial. Moreover, the development of new drugs for intravitreal injection and posterior segment drug delivery systems is expected to achieve the transition from invasive to non-invasive management. Thus, endophthalmitis is an ophthalmic emergency and timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving vision.
