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

backgroundThis case report aims to describe the diagnostic method and the clinical course of endophthalmitis caused by Enterococcus faecalis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old man presented with sudden, severe pain and acute vision loss in his left eye. Ocular examination revealed significant intraocular inflammation and dense vitritis, suggesting endogenous endophthalmitis. Systemic evaluation identified colonic diverticulosis as a potential source of infection. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed, and analysis of the vitreous fluid, including cytological and bacteriological studies, confirmed the presence of Enterococcus faecalis.

conclusionThe vitreous fluid is an adequate sample for characterizing endophthalmitis by combining cytological and bacteriological analyses.
