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

Purpose: Our purpose is to report a unique case of Methods: We describe a 20-year-old woman with a history of congenital glaucoma and secondary corneal edema who exhibited delayed worsening of fungal keratitis requiring treatment 3 years after a DSEK and concurrent fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implantation. Results: The patient was treated with topical, oral, and intrastromal antifungals without resolution of infection, necessitating a therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty. The corneal button showed Conclusions: This report describes a case of late-developing fungal keratitis 3 years after DSEK that occurred in the graft itself, in the plane between the posterior stroma and Descemet's membrane, rather than between the donor and host cornea. This highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for fungal keratitis in patients with persistent or worsening opacities in endothelial keratoplasty grafts.
