Successful Medical Management of Pigmented Fungal Keratitis Following Vegetative Trauma.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. 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
abstractFungal keratitis remains a frequent cause of corneal morbidity in tropical regions, particularly after trivial trauma involving plant material. Dematiaceous fungi constitute a smaller subgroup of filamentous organisms but may present with characteristic pigmentation over the corneal lesion. A middle-aged woman with controlled diabetes who developed pain and visual blurring after minor ocular trauma came to the ophthalmology outpatient department. Slit-lamp examination showed a paracentral ulcer with feathery margins and a brownish plaque. Direct microscopy confirmed septate pigmented hyphae. Following superficial keratectomy and intensive topical antifungal therapy, the infection resolved without any need for keratoplasty. This case illustrates that early suspicion and timely medical management can successfully control selected cases of dematiaceous fungal keratitis.
