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

purposeEmpiric keratitis to treat Gram-negative infections is often fortified with tobramycin or monotherapy with fluoroquinolones. Ceftazidime is not generally administered, although it has found success in the past. In this

methodsThis was a retrospective study at an academic tertiary care ophthalmology department. The laboratory records of patients with culture-positive Gram-negative keratitis were evaluated for anti-infective susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria to ceftazidime, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and polymyxin B. The median minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs μg/ml) of each Gram-negative bacterial group was compared to the established serum standards.
