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
This study aimed to analyze the pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment of infectious endophthalmitis and provide reference data for its prevention and treatment. The study retrospectively analyzed 101 cases of infectious endophthalmitis patients who received treatment at the Second People's Hospital of Jinan from January 2020 to December 2022, including pathogenic factors, microbiology, treatment, and prognosis of the patients. We found that traumatic endophthalmitis accounted for 48.51% of all cases, with iron foreign bodies being the leading cause of injury, while postoperative endophthalmitis after intraocular surgery accounted for 32.67% of all cases, with cataract surgery being the leading cause. The improvement in posttreatment visual acuity varied significantly among different causes of pathogenesis, with intraocular surgery showing the most improvement. In particular, postcataract surgery endophthalmitis showed better improvement than noncataract surgery-related endophthalmitis. Staphylococcus epidermidis was the main pathogenic bacteria causing infectious endophthalmitis, followed by fungi. Vitrectomy and intravitreal injection were the main treatment methods, with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) + intravitreal injection (IVT) having a longer treatment time than PPV, IVT, or other approaches. In conclusion, this study provided important reference data for the prevention and treatment of infectious endophthalmitis. Traumatic and postoperative endophthalmitis were the most common causes, with iron foreign bodies and cataract surgery being the main contributors, respectively. The improvement in posttreatment visual acuity varied significantly among different causes of pathogenesis, with postcataract surgery endophthalmitis showing better improvement. Staphylococcus epidermidis was the main pathogenic bacteria causing infectious endophthalmitis, and vitrectomy and intravitreal injection were the main treatment methods.
