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

This report details an uncommon occurrence of chronic endophthalmitis following cataract surgery attributed to an infection by Trichosporon inkin (T. inkin). The infection was identified through MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry along with sequencing analysis. Although the patient exhibited a robust immune response, the infection escalated quickly from the right eye to the left. Treatment involved vitrectomy and peeling surgery on the right eye, paired with systemic fluconazole antifungal therapy and intravitreal injection, resulting in significant recovery. The visual acuity of the right eye enhanced from finger counting to 20/63. This account represents the inaugural documented instance of endophthalmitis caused by
