Incidence and related factors of surface eye disorders in traumatic intensive care unit patients in Iran.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIntensive care unit (ICU) patients are exposed to several surface eye disorders ranged from minor complications like corneal dryness to more serious ones such as corneal perforation and blindness. This study is then to assess the incidence of the ocular complications and related factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsDuring a prospective cross sectional study in a general adult ICU, ocular complications of the patients were assessed by an ophthalmologist. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. A
resultsOut of 155 patients, 130 cases (260 eyes) were covered during the study period, 2016-2017. The most common complications among the patients included dry eye and corneal abrasion (25.8%) followed by conjunctivitis (25%). The mean time of occurrence for dryness and corneal abrasion was 4±2.93 days after admission to the ICU. Lower Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and longer hospital stay were significantly associated with ocular complications in the ICU (P<0.05).
conclusionEye surface complications are commonplace in critically ill patients admitted in the ICU. Dry eye, corneal abrasion, and conjunctivitis have been revealed as the most prevalent complications in this study. Lower GCS and longer stay in the ICU predisposed the cases to these complications. Efficient eye care protocol and training the ICU staff are both recommended to reduce complication rates as such.
