International consensuses and guidelines on diagnosing and managing fungal endophthalmitis by the Asia-Pacific Vitreo-retina Society (APVRS), the Academy of the Asia-Pacific Professors of Ophthalmology (AAPPO), and the Asia-Pacific Society of Ocular Inflammation and Infection (APSOII).

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
Fungal endophthalmitis represents one of the most challenging intraocular infections to diagnose and manage in ophthalmology. Despite advances in diagnostic techniques and treatment options, numerous controversies persist regarding optimal approaches to this sight-threatening condition. Due to the low incidence and significant variation in the severity and time of presentations, no large-scale randomized controlled trials have been done. Therefore, identifying controversies and deliberating the best approach to diagnosing and treating fungal endophthalmitis by international experts would help establish consensus statements that can guide clinical practice. The Asia-Pacific Academy of Professors in Ophthalmology (AAPPO), Asia-Pacific Vitreo-Retina Society (APVRS), and Asia-Pacific Society of Ocular Inflammation and Infection (APSOII) saw this critical gap and formed an international panel of experts comprising 24 experts to establish 20 consensus statements. While there is consensus on the need for early diagnosis and prompt administration of antifungal therapy, there are conflicting views on the optimal diagnostic approach to be taken, the role and timing of performing vitrectomy, and the use of systemic antifungal agents. A particularly contested topic is the role of corticosteroids. In establishing the 20 consensus statements, these thus serve as guidelines for diagnosing and managing fungal endophthalmitis.
