A 24-month review of globe rupture in a tertiary referral hospital.
Review in Irish journal of medical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundGlobe rupture is a full thickness penetration of the ocular wall. It is a sight-threatening injury and requires emergent ophthalmic management. Prognosis for vision is dependent on the nature of the rupture, as well as clinical and intraoperative exam findings.
aimsTo identify the outcomes of globe rupture in the University Hospital Galway, a tertiary ophthalmic surgery referral unit, over a 24-month period.
methodsA retrospective review in all cases of globe rupture was undertaken. The nature of the injury, vision, and exam findings at presentation, and intraoperative findings were recorded. Outcomes included vision at most recent follow-up, the development of complications, and the need for further surgery.
resultsA total of 12 cases were identified: 9 blunt injuries (assault, mechanical fall, workplace accident, self-inflicted) and 3 due to penetration with a sharp object (glass fragment, hammering). Globe rupture was almost twice as common in males under 40 years of age, compared with all patients over 40. All eyes with perception of light vision or less at presentation developed phthisis. Further surgery was required in a minority of cases.
conclusionsGlobe rupture after a mechanical fall was most common in the over-75 age group. Globe rupture from assault, followed by workplace injury, was the most common injury in young males under 40. In an Irish setting, this represents a change in the aetiology of globe ruptures in young males compared with rates reported 20 years ago when workplace injuries were more common. The preventable nature of these injuries is highlighted.
