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
introductionIntraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are a serious subset of open-globe injury that can result in visual loss. This study analyzed the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and visual outcomes of patients with IOFBs in Southwest China.
methodsThis retrospective study comprised 1,176 patients with the primary diagnosis of IOFBs who resided in Sichuan Province over a 10-year period. All data were collected from medical records and analyzed statistically.
resultsThe annual incidence for IOFBs was 0.14 per 100,000 (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.16 per 100,000) people in Southwest China. In that period, IOFBs accounted for 22.3% of all open-globe injuries. Working-age male patients accounted for 79.1% of all IOFBs patients and there had significant differences in age distributions between genders (p < 0.001). Metallic IOFBs were the most common (74.6%) IOFB, but there were significant differences in the materials of IOFBs between adults and children of different age-groups (p < 0.001). At discharge, 277 (23.6%) patients had increased visual acuity (VA) and 95 (8.0%) had no light perception. Initial VA <20/200 (odds ratio [OR], 5.5; p < 0.001), increasing wound size (OR, 1.3; p = 0.004), IOFBs in the posterior segment (OR, 2.6; p = 0.002) and existing complications (traumatic cataract, endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, or retinal break) were independent risk factors for final VA <20/200.
conclusionThe incidence of IOFBs in Southwest China differed from global statistics. Adults and children had different clinical characteristics. Thus, their prevention strategies should be different.
