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

backgroundEndogenous endophthalmitis is an infrequent yet severe complication of hemodialysis catheter-related sepsis. In this report, we present a case of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis in a patient with hemodialysis catheter-related sepsis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old male had a history of hepatitis B-related glomerulonephritis, end-stage renal disease, hepatitis-B-related decompensated cirrhosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. He received temporary central venous catheterization and commenced hemodialysis. Subsequent diagnosis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) endogenous endophthalmitis originating from catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) was established. The patient underwent vitrectomy and received intravitreal antibiotic injections. Treatment with systemic and local antibiotics was sustained for a duration of 4 weeks, however, the patient's visual acuity remained poor.

conclusionsEndogenous endophthalmitis represents a vision-threatening emergency necessitating rapid identification and intervention. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for endogenous endophthalmitis when ocular symptoms manifest in the context of sepsis. Timely ophthalmological evaluation and management are imperative to optimize patient outcomes.
