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: To describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcome of endogenous ocular nocardiosis caused by Observations: A 27-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome presented with encephalopathy, severe immunosuppression, and innumerable ring-enhancing brain lesions concerning for disseminated opportunistic infection. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral subretinal abscesses and deposits without vitreous inflammation, as well as a macula-involving exudative retinal detachment in the right eye. Extensive microbiologic evaluation, including anterior chamber polymerase chain reaction testing, was unrevealing. Progressive neurologic decline prompted craniotomy with brain biopsy, which demonstrated branching filamentous organisms on Grocott methenamine silver staining, with molecular sequencing confirming Conclusions and importance: This case represents a detailed report of endogenous ocular nocardiosis attributable to
