Management of open globe injury: a narrative review.
Review in Eye (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Open globe injuries are a significant global cause of visual loss, including unilateral and bilateral blindness. Prognosis is predicted by injury severity, with lower presenting visual acuity and more posterior injuries associated with poor visual outcomes, although even the most severely injured eyes with no perception of light vision may regain some visual function. In addition to severity of the primary injury, the secondary injuries and complications causing poor outcomes include proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and endophthalmitis. Endophthalmitis is common after open globe injury, affecting up to 16.5% of patients. Systemic antibiotic prophylaxis is commonly used, with a limited evidence base, while intraocular antibiotics are less commonly used but have stronger supporting evidence of efficacy. Endophthalmitis rates are also reduced by prompt primary repair, which may also support recovery of visual acuity. PVR is not prevented or treated by any pharmacologic interventions in current clinical practice, but the incidence of post-traumatic PVR may be reduced by early vitrectomy within the first 4-7 days after injury. Ocular trauma training is often limited in Western ophthalmic surgical training programmes, and patients with ocular trauma often require the input of multiple subspecialists. In this context, it is important that patients have an overview and coordination of the different aspects of their care, with ownership by one lead clinician.
