1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 evaluate the factors influencing final visual outcome after surgical repair of open globe injuries (OGIs) and to correlate the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) system.

methodsProspective cross-sectional study of patients with OGIs from International Globe and Adnexal Trauma Epidemiology Study (IGATES) database at a tertiary referral eye centre in Central India over 2 years. Pre-operative factors affecting final visual outcome and correlation with OTS were evaluated.

results208 patients had ocular trauma, of which data from 42 eyes with OGIs were reviewed. The majority of the patients were men (32, 76.2%) below the age of 40 (31, 73.8%). Patients were followed up for at least 6 months. Initial visual acuity (VA) was ≥ 20/40; 2 (4.8%), 20/200 to 20/50; 2 (4.8%), 1/200 to 19/200; 7 (16.7%), LP to HM; 26 (61.9%) and NLP (5, 11.9%). Final VA was ≥ 20/40; 1 (2.4%), 20/50 to 20/200; 8 (19.1%), 1/200 to 19/200; 9 (21.4%), LP to HM; 17 (40.5%) and NLP; 7 (16.7%). Univariate analysis of pre-operative variables showed initial VA (p = 0.0004), presence of hyphaema (p = 0.0323), laceration involving cornea visual axis (p = 0.0192) and retinal detachment (p = 0.0299) were significant prognostic factors in final visual outcome. OTS in our study does not fully correlate with international OTS system.

conclusionsInitial VA, hyphaema, visual-axis involving cornea laceration and retinal detachment are significant prognostic factors in OGIs. OTS remains a largely effective tool in counselling trauma patients.
