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

Introduction: The objective of this study was to report successful management of multidrug-resistant Case Presentation: A 59-year-old male with a history of cataract surgery and multiple retinal detachment repairs presented with acute left eye pain, chemosis, redness, and vision loss. Diagnosis of exogenous endophthalmitis was made. The patient had anterior chamber washout, along with aqueous and vitreous tapping with intravitreal vancomycin, ceftazidime, and intravenous ciprofloxacin. Since infection persisted despite antibiotic therapies, a repeated anterior chamber washout followed by intracameral injection of PI 0.1% was done. Vision improved to 6/60 with no bacterial regrowth or inflammatory membranes on discharge and follow-up. Conclusions: Intracameral PI may offer a solution for endophthalmitis cases where standard antibiotics are ineffective. This case supports the potential role of PI in managing resistant intraocular infections.
