A Nail in the Brain.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Transorbital penetrating brain injuries (TOPI) are rare. We report a case of industrial injury that resulted in perforating eye injury and intracranial foreign body by a nail gun. A 30-year-old man accidentally fired a nail gun onto his left eye at his construction workplace while handling the malfunctioned equipment and sustained a perforating injury of the left eye with intracranial foreign body. The misfired nail was lodged in his frontal lobe of the brain. He also suffered laceration wounds of the lateral canthus of the left eye and fractures of the left orbital floor and roof. He underwent emergency bicoronal craniotomy and removal of intracranial foreign body, followed by left eye examination under anaesthesia as well as scleral toilet and suturing. The nail was successfully removed. He recovered well with no neurological deficit and was discharged on postoperative day 5 with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15; however, his left eye vision remained no perception of light. Work-related eye injuries can be debilitating and are largely preventable.
