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

objectivesTo characterise the bacterial and fungal spectrum of infectious keratitis (IK) in southern China and to evaluate changes in the bacterial profiles and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) over an 8-year period (2017-2024).

methodsThis retrospective study included patients with culture-positive IK treated between 2017 and 2024. Corneal scrapings were obtained for microbiological culture and pathogen identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed for all bacterial isolates. Microbial distribution and in vitro antibiotic susceptibility were analysed.

resultsA total of 2785 microbial isolates were recovered from 2741 patients. Overall, fungal isolates predominated (59.6%), exhibiting a distinct seasonal distribution, with

conclusionsIK in southern China is characterised by persistent fungal predominance and evolving bacterial composition. AMR patterns differ between Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, reflecting both shifts in pathogen distribution and species-specific resistance changes, highlighting the importance of continued regional surveillance to guide empirical therapy.
