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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to analyze changing trends in isolated organisms and antibiotic resistance of bacterial keratitis (BK) over 26 years.

methodsA retrospective medical record review included 542 strains isolated from 462 BK patients between 1998 and 2023. We analyzed routinely generated in vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing results recorded in the laboratory information system and did not perform additional susceptibility testing for research purposes. The entire period was divided into two (first half: 1998-2010, 297 isolates from 255 patients; second half: 2011-2023, 245 isolates from 207 patients) and compared.

resultsDuring the entire period,

conclusionsOur study suggests that conventional topical fortified antibiotic eye drops (tobramycin, ceftazidime) can still be considered as an empirical treatment option for BK. However, our findings revealed a long-term trend of increasing
