Incidence and clinical features of pediatric ocular trauma in a population-based cohort.
Article in Journal of AAPOS : the official publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo report the incidence and clinical characteristics of pediatric ocular and adnexal injuries diagnosed over a 10-year period in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
methodsThis multicenter retrospective, population-based cohort study included all patients <19 years of age in Olmsted County diagnosed with ocular or adnexal injuries from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2009.
resultsA total of 740 ocular or adnexal injuries occurred during the study period, yielding an incidence of 203 (95% CI, 189-218) per 100,000 children. Median age at diagnosis was 10.0 years, and 462 (62.4%) were males. Injuries presented to the emergency department or urgent care setting most frequently (69.6%) and often occurred while outdoors (31.6%) during summer months (29.7%). Common injury mechanisms included blunt force (21.5%), foreign bodies (13.8%), and sports activities (13.0%). Isolated anterior segment injuries occurred in 63.5% of injuries. Ninety-nine patients (13.8%) had visual acuity of 20/40 or worse at initial examination, and 55 patients (7.7%) had visual acuity of 20/40 or worse at final examination. Twenty-nine injuries (3.9%) required surgical intervention. Significant risk factors for reduced visual acuity and/or the development of long-term complications include male sex, age ≥12 years, outdoor injuries, sport and firearm/projectile injury mechanism, and hyphema or posterior segment injury (P < 0.05).
conclusionsMost pediatric eye injuries are minor anterior segment injuries with infrequent long-lasting effects on visual development.
