Debilitating ocular globe rupture due to a forklift accident: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 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
We describe a case of globe rupture due to a forklift accident. A 64-year-old man presented to the ophthalmology hospital shortly after the jaws of a forklift struck his left eye. The left eye was shrunken with a full-thickness scleral laceration. B-scan ultrasonography revealed a hypotonic eyeball with antero-posterior shrinkage. We promptly performed scleral suturing to maintain the ocular shape. The patient's intraocular pressure improved to 7.1 mmHg, and visual acuity was limited to light perception. Despite this, intraocular hemorrhage in the anterior chamber persisted, and an electroretinogram demonstrated poor response to light. Subsequently, the patient underwent a vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade to address the vitreous hemorrhage, proliferative membranes, and retinal detachment. However, proliferative vitreoretinopathy with tractional retinal detachment progressed postoperatively, resulting in the loss of light perception. Ocular trauma caused by forklifts accident is rare; however, the strong external forces they exert can cause severe and irreversible visual impairment. Therefore, it is necessary for forklift operators and other concerned individuals to exercise caution to prevent forklift-related ocular trauma. Moreover, ophthalmologists should be aware of the dangers of forklift-related ocular trauma and treatment and management of the same.
