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

The purpose of this study was to present a case of fungal keratitis in a 35-year-old farmer successfully managed with therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK). A 35-year-old male was referred to the emergency department with a 10-day history of a right-eye corneal ulcer. He reported a preceding ocular injury caused by a small stone during farm work. Prior to referral, he had been hospitalized at a tertiary center and treated with topical moxifloxacin and fluconazole without clinical improvement. Clinical examination revealed a corneal ulcer with an endothelial plaque, hypopyon, and fibrin in the anterior chamber. After corneal scraping, empirical treatment for fungal keratitis was initiated. Posterior segment evaluation excluded endophthalmitis. Cultures demonstrated
