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: The prognostic significance of debridement has long been demonstrated for trauma in tissues other than ocular. Unfortunately, the impact of wound healing in the anterior segment (AS) was not paid as much attention as in the posterior segment (PS). This study aims to evaluate whether a better prognosis can be obtained from continuous surgical treatment (CST) before fibrosis or scar formation in an open AS injury. Methods: In this prospective comparative cohort study, 19 eyes of 19 patients with an experience of AS open globe injury (OGI) were selected from the database of the eye injury vitrectomy study (EIVS) from January 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021. Of 19 patients, 9 who received CST were assigned to group 1, and 10 patients without CST after the initial wound repair were included in group 2. Comparison between the two groups was conducted in the final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Significant AS complications after injury were evaluated with χ Results: The differences of baseline clinical factors between the two groups were not statistically significant. The final BCVA was better in group 1 than in group 2 (P=0.011). The complications directly caused by AS injury, namely adhesive corneal leucoma, uneven anterior chamber, block of light passing through the pupil, and fibrosis or scarring, were more frequent in group 2 than in group 1 (P=0.011, 0.022, 0.037, and 0.040, respectively). Secondary glaucoma (3 cases) and severe AS structure destruction (2 cases) occurred only in group 2 (P=0.037 and 0.474, respectively). The area ratio of leucoma (0.79±0.44, 0.82±0.50, respectively) and corneal astigmatism (3.69±1.90, 4.50±4.80, respectively) revealed no statistical significance between the two groups. On the other hand, the score of AS abnormalities, mean values being 93.33±11.18 for group 1 and 67.00±29.46 for group 2, was statistically different (P=0.022). Conclusions: Initiating CST before fibrosis or scar formation might improve the prognosis of open AS injury, which was preferable to natural wound healing after wound repair.
