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
purposeTo analyze the prevalence and association of ocular injury and orbital fracture in orbital trauma patients
methodsPatients with periocular trauma who visited the emergency room at the referral center from 2014 to 2016 were screened. Patients examined by ophthalmologists and evaluated by CT scan were included. Patients' age, gender, cause of trauma, and injury patterns were retrieved. The location of the fracture and morphologic parameters were reviewed. The patients were divided into groups based on the presence of orbital fracture and/or the presence of ocular injury and clinical data were compared.
resultsTwo hundred patients were included and 158 presented with fracture. Ocular injuries occurred in 129 of 158 (81.6%) in the fracture group, and in 40 of 42 (95.2%) in the no fracture group; ocular injuries were found more often in the no fracture group (p = 0.031). Open globe injuries occurred in 5 of 158 (3.2%) in the fracture group and in 6 of 42 (14.3%) in the no fracture group; open globe injuries were found more often in the no fracture group (p = 0.012). Patients with ocular injuries showed shorter depth of the orbit (41.9 vs. 44.1 mm; p = 0.003) compared to the patients without ocular injuries. Logistic regression revealed that short orbit was associated with the presence of ocular injury (p = 0.004).
conclusionThe incidence of ocular injuries was significantly higher in patients without orbital fracture than in those with fractures of the orbit. The orbital fracture may play a protective role against ocular injury by providing a decompressive effect on the orbital tissue.
