1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 evaluate the association of demographic and clinical features of emergency department (ED) patients presenting with open globe injuries (OG) with outcomes such as inpatient admission rate, length of stay (LOS), and total cost.

methodsThe Nationwide Emergency Department Sample database 2018 and 2019 was used to analyze the association of demographic and clinical features of OG patients with outcome measures.

results8404 OG patients were identified. Medicaid patients were associated with higher ED costs and a higher frequency of extended LOS. The 70+ age group was associated with higher inpatient admission. Frail patients were associated with significantly increased likelihood of inpatient admission, higher likelihood of extended LOS and higher total combined ED cost. Falls and being struck were associated with shorter LOS.

conclusionThis study describes the most common demographic and clinical characteristics of OGIs that present to the ED, as well as the association of these characteristics with outcome measures such as inpatient admission rates, LOS, and total cost. The study further identified potential high-risk patients for prolonged length of stay. The findings will better optimize patient care protocols to improve outcomes.
