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

Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics of EnE and the molecular traits of the Methods: We revived 40 strains of the KP, utilized whole-genome sequencing technology to understand their molecular epidemiological characteristics. Results: Among 103 EnE patients (69.90% male, 56.31% left eye), vision loss was the chief complaint (96.12%). Extraocular infections were present in 63.11% of patients, most commonly liver abscess (45.00%). KP comprised 81.82% of culture-positive cases. Among 40 KP strains analyzed, 82.5% were hypervirulent KP (hvKP). Phylogenetic analysis revealed the dominance of ST23-K1 lineages. Intravitreal injection was associated with a significantly reduced risk of poor visual prognosis (RR = 0.061, 95%CI: 0.005-0.442) and emerged as an independent protective factor. Conclusions: The incidence of EnE showed an increasing trend, primarily driven by hvKP ST23-K1. A comprehensive search for systemic infection foci, particularly liver abscesses, is essential. A negative string test result does not exclude hvKP. Timely intravitreal antimicrobial injection is a critical modifiable factor for improving visual prognosis.
