Clinical Roles of Infectious Diseases Specialists in Ophthalmology.
Article in Infectious diseases & clinical microbiology, 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
Objective: Ophthalmology is characterized by its organ-specific focus, reliance on specialized devices, and the requirement that intraocular examinations be performed exclusively by ophthalmologists. These factors limit interdisciplinary collaboration. However, infection screening prior to immunosuppressive therapy (IST), systemic infection management, and antimicrobial planning increasingly require input from infectious diseases (ID) specialists. This study aimed to analyze the indications and clinical outcomes of ID consultations initiated by ophthalmology subspecialties in a tertiary eye hospital. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated ID consultations requested by ophthalmology units between December 2021 and February 2023. Patients aged ≥18 years referred for formal ID consultation were included; referrals made solely for topical antibiotic approval were excluded. Referrals were assessed by subspecialty, consultation indication, systemic antimicrobial therapy, need for prophylaxis, and additional testing. Findings were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 195 consultations were recorded. Consultation indications and patient age distributions differed significantly across ophthalmology subspecialties ( Conclusion: Infectious diseases specialists play not only a supportive but also a guiding role in ophthalmic clinical decision-making. Their involvement significantly contributes to IST planning and systemic antimicrobial management. Variation across ophthalmology subspecialties highlights their role in both preventive and therapeutic care.
