Pediatric Open Globe Injury in Tertiary Hospitals of Khobar and Dhahran.

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
Background Every year, 3.3 to 5.7 million eye injuries occur worldwide in children. Open globe injury is a common type of trauma that leads to blindness in all age groups. This study aimed to review and discuss the epidemiology, causes, and clinical outcome of pediatric open globe injury. Methods A retrospective chart review of all pediatric open globe injuries presented to King Fahad Hospital of the University and Dhahran Eye Specialist Hospital was conducted between 2010 and 2020. Data analyses were done to identify factors predicting ultimate visual acuity. Results The overall number of cases was 502, of which 120 cases were children and of the documented 118 cases, around 82 (69.5%) were males with an average age of 5.1 years. The traumatic object was sharp in 90 (89.1%) cases. The most common object was glass, presented in 18 (18.4%) cases. Most injuries were accidental (68.9%) and 48 (71.6%) cases out of 67 occurred inside the house. The factors associated with better visual outcome (20/40 or better) were sharp injuries, absence of hyphema, absence of vitreous hemorrhage, trauma with intraocular foreign body, undergone one operation, and absence of cataract at presentation. Conclusion The ultimate visual outcome post open globe injury could be predicted from the severity of the presenting signs. Also, the household environment carries the highest risk, hence it is not always a safe haven for children. Thus, childproofing the house and adult supervision is advisable.
