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

purposeTo report a rare case of bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Salmonella Paratyphi A in an immunocompetent patient and to review the relevant literature.

methodBrief report.

resultsA 23-year-old woman presented with acute bilateral vision loss over one day. She had previously received systemic corticosteroids for a presumed Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome and was administered oral steroids. At presentation, examination revealed conjunctival congestion, Descemet's folds, fibrinous anterior chamber reaction, and hypopyon in the left eye, with obscured; fundus details. B-scan ultrasonography demonstrated a thickened retinochoroidal complex with shallow choroidal detachments and anechoic vitreous cavities. Blood culture grew Salmonella Paratyphi A and vitreous cytology showed abundant monocytes. She received intravitreal vancomycin (1 mg/0.1 ml) and ceftazidime (2.25 mg/0.1 ml), IV ceftriaxone 2 g/day guided by susceptibility, topical prednisolone acetate 1% and atropine 1%, and a tapering course of oral steroids. Following resolution of anterior segment inflammation, she underwent pars plana vitrectomy with lensectomy and silicone oil endotamponade in both eyes. Postoperatively, best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/250 (OD) and 20/200 (OS).

conclusionWhile Salmonella-associated endogenous endophthalmitis is typically associated with poor visual outcomes, this bilateral Paratyphi A case demonstrates that prompt recognition and aggressive combined medical and surgical management can achieve meaningful visual recovery.
