Visual outcomes of open globe injury patients with traumatic cataracts.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeOpen globe injury (OGI) is a serious form of ocular trauma that can significantly lower quality of life post-injury due to comorbidities. This study was designed to investigate how traumatic cataracts and other pre-operative variables affect visual outcomes of OGIs.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted for OGI patient records with presence of traumatic cataracts, visual outcomes, comorbidity data and provider training. Multivariable logistic regression analysis determined if several pre-operative variables including traumatic cataracts, retinal detachment and hyphema were predictive of final visual acuity and need for retinal surgery. Ancillary multivariable analysis was conducted to evaluate if timing of traumatic cataract extraction predicted poor final visual acuity.
resultsMultivariable logistic regression analysis did not find traumatic cataract to be an independent predictor of final visual outcome in the open globe injury sample population (n = 102, p = 0.386), but did find retinal detachment (p = 0.008), hyphema (p = 0.035) and scleral laceration (p = 0.009) to be independent predictors of poor final visual acuity. In the subgroup of eyes with traumatic cataract (n = 64), delayed cataract extraction was not found to be an independent predictor of poor final visual acuity (p = 0.156).
conclusionOur results suggest that retinal detachment, hyphema, and scleral laceration influence final visual outcome while traumatic cataract does not. Within the subpopulation of patients that received lens extraction, timing of extraction was not found to independently influence final visual acuity.
