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

Firecracker induced open globe injury is a big challenge for ophthalmic surgeons. Its association with the intraocular foreign body makes the diagnosis and treatment even more difficult resulting in poor anatomical and visual outcomes. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with bilateral, multiple corneal and intraocular foreign body due to firecracker explosion. His vision was limited to hand movement in both eyes. Combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract surgery were done in both eyes followed by pars plana vitrectomy for intraocular foreign body removal. The final best-corrected visual acuity of the patient stood to be 6/6 and 6/9 in the right and left eye respectively. The encouraging result in our case prompts ophthalmologists for a timely stepwise multidisciplinary approach in all open globe injuries with intraocular foreign body cases having poor initial acuity.
