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 examine traumatic intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and glaucoma after open-globe injury.

designRetrospective, observational case series.

methodsReview of patients with open-globe repair at the University of Washington from May 1997 through July 2010. Traumatic IOP elevation and glaucoma were defined respectively as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥22 mm Hg at >1 visit or need for glaucoma medication, and long-term (at least 3 months) glaucoma medication use or glaucoma surgery.

resultsWe included 515 eyes (515 patients). The mean follow-up was 12.6±20.1 months. One hundred twenty eyes (23.3%) developed traumatic IOP elevation, of which 32 (6.2%) developed glaucoma; six eyes (1.2%) required glaucoma surgery. The mean time to development of traumatic IOP elevation was 1.5±3.4 months (range 1 day to 2 years). Kaplan-Meier 6- and 12-month estimates for development of traumatic IOP elevation were 27.2 and 32.4%, respectively, and for development of traumatic glaucoma were 7.1 and 11.0%, respectively. Multivariate regression revealed associations between traumatic IOP elevation and older age, and traumatic glaucoma and prior penetrating keratoplasty, initial vitreous hemorrhage, Zone II injury, and penetrating keratoplasty after open-globe repair. Traumatic glaucoma was controlled (IOP <22 mm Hg) in 78.1% of eyes at final follow-up, with mean IOP of 18.2 mm Hg on 1.7 medications.

conclusionsTraumatic IOP elevation and glaucoma were common after visually salvageable open-globe injury. Most cases developed within 6 months, although longer follow-up remains important for case detection. Penetrating keratoplasty before or after repair, and vitreous hemorrhage were notable risk factors.
