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.
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
purposeThe purpose is to study the incidence, characteristics, management, and visual outcome of endophthalmitis postintravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin®) injections.
methodsRetrospective cohort study conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital that is a tertiary care center in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The study duration was from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2020. A total of 2321 eyes of 1407 patients were treated with Intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) in a minor operation theater using standard aseptic measures. We studied the incidence, clinical characteristics, treatment, and visual outcomes of endophthalmitis post-IVB.
resultsSeven eyes (0.30%) out of 2321 eyes developed post-IVB endophthalmitis during the study period. Three eyes (42.8%) were culture positive and four eyes (57.2%) were culture negative. Five eyes (71.4%) showed visual improvement and two eyes (28.6%) did not show visual improvement.
conclusionPrompt intravitreal antibiotic along with vitreous tap in cases of postintravitreal endophthalmitis may prevent vision loss which provides a useful alternative to immediate pars plana vitrectomy that requires more expertise, equipment, and an operation theater.
