Ultrasonographic assessment of paediatric ocular emergencies: A tertiary eye hospital based observation.
Article in World journal of emergency medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this study is to assess the utility of ocular ultrasound B scan in the emergency at the first point of care for detecting posterior segment and orbital pathologies in cases of paediatric ocular emergencies.
methodsA prospective observational study involving 122 paediatric patients presenting to eye emergency over a period of ninety days were assessed with ultrasonography for the posterior segment as well as orbital pathology whenever indicated. The ocular ultrasound was performed gently over closed eyelids.
resultsPosttraumatic globe injuries were the most common indication for posterior segment evaluation, which constituted 80 (65.57%) eyes. Among these 52 patients had an anechoic posterior segment and 28 patients had variable findings such as vitreous haemorrhage (8.19%), retinal detachment (6.55%), choroidal detachment (4.91%), posteriorly dislocated clear lens (0.81%) and retained intraocular foreign body (5.73%). Non-traumatic cases constituted around 42 (34.42%) eyes, which included corneal ulcer (7.37%), retinoblastoma (6.55%), endophthalmitis (4.91%), extra-ocular muscle cysticercosis (4.91%), orbital cellulitis (4.09%), periocular haemorrhage (2.45%), proptosis(1.63%), paediatric cataract (1.63%) and cryptophthalmos (0.81%). No adverse events of performing the ultrasound was noted.
conclusionFirst point ultrasonography in paediatric ocular emergencies is a cheap, portable and an effective tool in the assertion of significant posterior segment and orbital diseases.
