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

aimTo report the demographic and systemic characteristics of patients, clinical progression of endophthalmitis, and the efficacy of various treatment strategies, with a focus on identifying key factors for preserving vision in eyes with endogenous endophthalmitis due to

methodsIn this single-center, retrospective case series of 18 patients with endogenous endophthalmitis due to

resultsMean (±standard deviation) age of the 18 patients with endophthalmitis was 64.5±12.2 (range: 32-84)y, and 14 patients (77.8%) were males. Endophthalmitis tended to involve the retinal parenchyma first and then progressed into the vitreous cavity and anterior segments. However, it presented a tendency to cause massive subretinal abscesses even after vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade. Very high intraocular pressure with new vessels on the iris (41.7%) were also commonly observed. Although all but three patients had systemic disease such as diabetes or hypertension, visual prognosis after treatment did not appear to depend significantly on underlying comorbidities. A final best-corrected visual acuity better than 20/60 was achieved only when lesions were detected very early, with relatively good initial visual acuity, likely reflecting lower bacterial inoculation in the eye.

conclusionDetection of early endophthalmitis lesions appears to be the only way to preserve good vision in patients with
