1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Postoperative endophthalmitis is a rare but vision-threatening complication of cataract surgery. Multidrug-resistant organisms present additional therapeutic challenges. Case presentation: We report a 52-year-old man who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification for posterior subcapsular cataract. On the first postoperative day, visual acuity was 8/10, but inflammation gradually appeared without the classic signs of endophthalmitis. On the fifth postoperative day, the patient's vision deteriorated significantly, reaching 1/10, accompanied by a strong inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber. A pars plana vitrectomy was performed and vancomycin and ceftazidime were administered intravitreally. Conclusion: Early surgical intervention, culture-guided therapy, and intensive follow-up can preserve vision even in postoperative endophthalmitis due to multidrug-resistant organisms.
