Post-coronavirus disease bilateral endogenous fungal endophthalmitis with full visual acuity recovery: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundIncreasing reports and case series describe cases of endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Endogenous endophthalmitis is a severe ophthalmologic pathology caused by bacteremic or fungemic seeding of the eye, often in immunocompromised patients. Delayed treatment can lead to permanent visual impairment. We report the diagnosis and management of a case of fungal endogenous endophthalmitis with voriconazole and surgery that led to complete visual acuity recovery. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of post-coronavirus disease 2019 bilateral fungal endogenous endophthalmitis due to Candida albicans in a 64-year-old Caucasian male patient. Upon arrival, he had a visual acuity of 6/200 and slow pupillary light reflex. Ocular examination revealed conjunctival hyperemia, keratic precipitates, moderate vitritis with cotton wool spots, intraretinal hemorrhages, and foci of chorioretinitis.
conclusionTreatment for endogenous endophthalmitis is often delayed because cultures frequently yield negative results. Early diagnosis is key for better outcomes in endogenous endophthalmitis. This case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for endogenous endophthalmitis in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 to ensure early diagnosis and timely intervention.
