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
backgroundThe goals of this study was to analyze and explore the effect of comprehensive sensory control strategy on prevention and control of infectious endophthalmitis after cataract surgery.
methodsFrom January 2012 to December 2023, a study of patients with infectious endophthalmitis after cataract surgery was conducted in a hospital. Perioperative infection prevention measures include topical eye drops, lacrimal irrigation, povidone iodine disinfection of conjunctival sac, etc. After in-depth investigation and analysis of the reasons for the increase in the incidence of endophthalmitis for three times, a series of effective prevention and control measures were proposed for the root causes of the problems, including optimizing the key link system, implementing closed-loop management of sensory control measures, designing personalized children's surgery plan, strengthening perioperative treatment, comprehensively monitoring the operating room clean system, strengthening the cleaning and disinfection treatment between consecutive operations to ensure the safety of the operating environment, etc.
resultsFrom January 2012 to December 2023, a total of 134,045 cataract operations were performed, of which 26 cases were infected at the surgical site, with an infection rate of 0.019%. According to the specific infection characteristics of each period, corresponding prevention and control measures were formulated and implemented, which significantly reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis (P < 0.01). In 2012, 2016 and 2020, the incidence of endophthalmitis was 0.057%, 0.048% and 0.029%, respectively, showing a linear decreasing trend, which was statistically significant (X
conclusionsBy analyzing the characteristics of infectious endophthalmitis in different periods, the main causes can be inferred, and the prevention and control measures can be explored to effectively reduce the incidence of infectious endophthalmitis after cataract surgery.
