Endophthalmitis With Subretinal Abscesses Presenting as Charles Bonnet Syndrome in a Patient With Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bacteremia: A Case Report and Discussion of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
We present the case of a 73-year-old male with recurrent necrotizing fasciitis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia who developed visual hallucinations and altered mental status on post operative day one after undergoing right knee prosthetic joint infection washout. His visual acuity, which was self reported as previously "very good" decreased to hand motion in the right eye (OD) and 20/400-1 in the left eye (OS), and he described new visual hallucinations. Differentials included post operative delirium, stroke, and ocular infiltration of his bacteremia. He was evaluated by infectious disease, orthopedic surgery, neurology, and ophthalmology specialties, and was found to have bilateral endophthalmitis, Charles Bonnet syndrome, and bilateral subretinal abscesses. The patient was treated with intravenous (IV) antibiotics and surgical removal of his infected knee hardware; however, he and his family members ultimately made the decision to withdraw goal-directed care. We present this case to emphasize the importance of ophthalmologic evaluation and early intervention in patients with MRSA bacteremia and alterations in vision or mentation.
