Clinical characteristics and prognostic factors for visual outcome in 669 patients with intraocular foreign bodies.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimTo describe the clinical characteristics and analyze prognostic factors that influence visual outcome in 669 patients with intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs).
methodsMedical records of 669 patients with IOFBs from West China Hospital were reviewed. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) values were recorded using standard Snellen acuity chart and were converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) scale for statistical analysis. The visual outcome was defined by the final BCVA (excellent visual outcome: final BCVA of 20/40 or better; poor visual outcome: final BCVA less than 20/200). Statistical analysis of collected data was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. A 2-tailed
resultsThe average age ranged from 1 to 79 years old (mean age, 34.8±12.7 SD) and the majority of patients were men (626, 93.6%). The major cause of ocular injury was hammering (383, 57.2%). Almost all the patients (97.8%) underwent surgeries (97.8%) and the average time interval between injury and surgery was 26.4±322.3d (0-7300), while 327 patients received surgeries within 24h (48.9%) and 590 patients received surgeries within seven days (88.2%) after IOFBs injury. The poor BCVA was associated with older age (
conclusionMultiple prognostic factors may influence the final visual outcome, including age, size of IOFBs, complications and presenting BCVA. Meanwhile, further education and promotion on eye protection should be taken for the improvement on self-protection and self-health awareness.
