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

introductionTraffic trauma can lead to ocular damage. Open globe injuries usually have a poor prognosis, which can be ameliorated by prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Nonetheless, few studies have focused on the visual outcomes of patients following traffic accidents. In this study, we aimed to examine the characteristics and prognosis of ocular complications in patients following traffic accidents at a specialized tertiary eye hospital.

methodsWe classified 44 patients from traffic accidents (88 eyes) into groups with equal or better (

resultsGlobe contusion, orbital blowout fracture, traumatic iritis, and trochlear nerve palsy were observed in 14.8%, 3.4%, 2.3%, and 2.3% of the patients, respectively. Topical instillation and ophthalmological treatment/surgery were performed in 17.0% and 9.1% of the patients, respectively. The

conclusionsAssessing visual acuity at the initial presentation is crucial for predicting the final visual acuity. Our findings will help to inform ophthalmologists aiming to improve the prognosis and treatment of ocular trauma in patients following traffic accidents.
