Salmonella-associated endophthalmitis in healthy infants: Two case reports and a review of the literature.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: To report two cases of endophthalmitis caused by Salmonella species in healthy male infants. Background: Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare but severe intraocular infection, often associated with systemic risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, malignancies, or immunosuppression. However, Observations: We present two cases of previously healthy male infants diagnosed with Salmonella-associated endogenous endophthalmitis (SAEE). The first patient, a 2-month-old male, presented with fever, left upper eyelid swelling, and decreased activity, and was found to have intraocular cultures that confirmed Salmonella species. Despite aggressive intravenous and intravitreal antibiotic therapy, the patient developed progressive intraocular inflammation, necessitating left eye evisceration.The second patient, a 5-month-old male, presented with fever and right eye inflammation. Examination revealed a hypopyon, hyphema, and dense vitritis in the right eye. Blood and vitreous cultures confirmed Salmonella infection, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed right peribulbar abscess formation. Due to poor response to medical therapy, right eye enucleation was performed. Conclusion and importance:
