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

Purpose: In this case report, we discuss a case of ocular insult following a needle-less Dermojet injection to the brow region. Observations: Initial examination revealed pin-point sites of injector contact over the right brow, a dense temporal subconjunctival hemorrhage, a temporal area of commotio retinae, and a vitreous hemorrhage localized to the inferotemporal quadrant of the retina obscuring the view to the retina behind it. The potential for a concealed penetrating globe injury or retinal break was of significant concern. Conservative management was opted with close follow-up. Over a 10-week period, the patient's symptoms and signs improved, and final assessment showed an extramacular choroidal scar indicative of choroidal rupture. Risks of the development of choroidal neovascularization were communicated and a plan for diligent follow up was given. Conclusions and importance: We recommend against using high-pressure, needle-less systems in the periorbital area due to vision-threatening risks, urging caution among healthcare professionals.
