A Rare Case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Keratoscleritis: Highlighting Early Diagnosis and Aggressive Treatment.
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
backgroundCASE PRESENTATION: A 75‑year‑old woman presented with a large corneal epithelial defect, stromal infiltrates, and hypopyon. She was initially managed empirically for fungal keratitis but later diagnosed with PAK following scleral nodule excision and positive cultures for MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME: Intensive therapy, including topical and systemic antibiotics, subconjunctival injections, and autologous serum tears, gradually improved corneal ulceration and scleritis. Although her visual acuity remained severely impaired, early initiation of targeted antimicrobial therapy preserved ocular integrity and avoided surgical intervention.
conclusionPAK is a rare, sight-threatening infection with high morbidity if treatment is delayed. This case highlights the importance of early and accurate diagnosis, together with prompt and aggressive antimicrobial management to prevent complications and preserve the globe.
