Periorbital lesions in severely burned patients.
Article in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThis study aimed to characterize the injuries involving periorbital region in our severely burned patients.
methodA 2 years retrospective study was conducted with a total of 210 severe burns admissions. Periorbital burn injuries (all produced in association with facial injuries) were encountered in 126 patients, representing the study group that was further analyzed for multiple parameters: demographics, mechanism of injury, TBSA (total body surface area), burn depth, inhalation injury, need for intubation and mechanical ventilation. The presence and severity of ocular injuries were also evaluated.
resultsAnalyzing our study group (n=126), we observed the presence of multiple negative prognosis factors: elderly patients, extensive burns, deep burns affecting functional areas, unfavorable mechanism (electric, chemical or explosions), inhalation injuries, need for intubation and mechanical ventilation, leading to severe morbidity and high mortality level. Ocular injuries were encountered in 37 patients (30 primary and 7 secondary lesions). The predominance of primary ocular lesions is explained trough high severity burns encountered in our patients with high mortality and lack of long-term clinical observations.
conclusionThe clinical outcome for periorbital burn injuries depends on patient characteristics, etiology, burn extension and depth, associated lesions, infectious risk and the quality of the treatment applied. Presence of ocular injuries in various severity degrees impose an adequate evaluation and specialized treatment, being associated with important morbidity. In severely burned patients, it is mandatory to apply preventive measures to avoid ocular complications. If exposure keratopathy is detected, prompt ophthalmologic treatment is essential to avoid functional impairment including loss of vision.
