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 determine current perioperative practice patterns for the prevention of endophthalmitis following cataract surgery in Thailand. Design: Cross-sectional Survey Study. Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed nationwide to certified ophthalmologists, consisting of 21 questions covering 10 preoperative, 7 intraoperative, and 4 postoperative measures for the prevention of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. Subgroup analyses were performed to compare practices between general ophthalmologists, retina/uveitis specialists (R/U), and other subspecialists (Non-R/U). Results: A total of 426 responses were analyzed. Preoperative topical antibiotics (21.1%, n = 90) and oral antibiotics (4.9%, n = 21) were rarely prescribed. The most common antiseptic for skin preparation was 10% povidone-iodine (72.3%, n = 308). Intracameral antibiotics were adopted by 54.7% of respondents (n = 233). Postoperative topical antibiotics were almost universally prescribed (99.5%, n = 424). Moxifloxacin was the most preferred topical (preoperative: 45.6%, n = 41, postoperative: 46.4%, n = 197) and intracameral (57.1%, n = 133) antibiotic. Subspecialty analysis revealed that R/U specialists were more prone to use 10% povidone-iodine (relative risk ratio [RRR] 2.37, 95% CI 1.16 to 4.82) and antiseptic applied to fornix (RRR 2.62, 95% CI 1.26 to 5.46) than the general ophthalmologist group. Conclusion: Although the majority of Thai ophthalmologists align their practices with international endophthalmitis prevention guidelines, certain practices were less frequently adopted than recommended. These findings emphasize the need for standardized national practice patterns to enhance surgical outcomes.
