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

Background: Fungal keratitis is relatively rare in children. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of pediatric fungal keratitis. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for children (aged <18 years) diagnosed with fungal keratitis from 1996 to 2021. Demographic features, etiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes were collected. Results: Forty-seven children (48 eyes) were included (31 males, 16 females). The mean age of onset was 11.8±4.1 (range: 1-17) years. The leading cause of fungal keratitis was trauma including dust or ocular foreign body (29.2%) and vegetative matter (25.0%). Conclusion: In the current study, ocular trauma was the leading cause of fungal keratitis in the pediatric age group.
