A Computed Tomography Scan Near Miss of an Intraorbital Wooden Foreign Body.

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
When intraorbital wooden foreign bodies are missed, the consequences can be devastating. While the gold standard diagnostic imaging is computed tomography (CT), it has low sensitivity. We present a 61-year-old man with a bamboo injury to his right eye. He underwent two CT scans that failed to raise the possibility of intraorbital foreign bodies. Upon additional review, a rectangular-shaped pocket of air was identified in the orbit which was most consistent with wooden foreign bodies based on the clinical history. A combined mid-lid approach followed by a transconjunctival and transcaruncular extension were employed to remove several wooden splinters. Postoperatively, due to recurrent orbital compartment syndrome, he required a second decompression with an inferior rim osteotomy. He had good recovery at 3 months follow-up. Overall, intraorbital wooden foreign bodies are challenging to diagnose due to imaging limitations. Providing a clear history and suspected diagnosis to radiology is critical for diagnosis.
