Socioeconomic deprivation and serious ocular trauma in Scotland: a national prospective study.
Article in The British journal of ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05164588 (A Prospective Study of Traumatic Eye Injuries in the Period From January 2022 to June 2022 in Sohag University Hospitals), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveTo identify the population at risk of serious ocular trauma by exploring relationships with socioeconomic factors.
designNational, prospective, population-based, cross-sectional and follow-up study.
participantsPatients with serious ocular trauma requiring hospital admission in Scotland.
methods
main outcome measureSerious ocular trauma requiring hospital admission.
resultsA total of 104 patients (85.6% male) were reported as being admitted with ocular trauma with a median age of 32 years (IQR 24-54). There was a trend for increasing incidence of serious ocular injury with increasing socioeconomic deprivation (p=0.034). Patients from the most deprived areas (SIMD: 0%-20%) were twice as likely to sustain ocular injury compared with those from the least deprived (SIMD: 80%-100%) areas (relative risk: 2.19, 95% CI 1.02 to 4.81). There was no significant difference in the drive/public transport time to GP practices across the SIMD quintiles.
conclusionsIncreasing socioeconomic deprivation was associated with a higher incidence of serious ocular injury. Targeted interventions are needed to address inequality in eye healthcare in deprived areas.
