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

purposeTo comprehensively review the epidemiology, clinical features, causative pathogens, primary infection sites, and mortality of endogenous endophthalmitis (EE). MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective review was conducted on patients diagnosed with EE at National Taiwan University Hospital between 2014 and 2024. Clinical data, including patient demographics, underlying systemic diseases, identified pathogens, infection sources, and outcomes, were analyzed.

resultsNinety-nine eyes from 91 patients with EE were enrolled. The majority of cases were bacterial (61.5%), followed by fungal infections (27.5%). A small number of cases had no documented pathogens. Bilateral involvement was more frequent in fungal cases. Among patients with endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE),

conclusionEE remains a vision-threatening condition.
