Epidemiology of motor vehicle accident-associated ocular trauma.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe objective is to investigate trends in cases of motor vehicle accident-associated (MVA-associated) ocular trauma in which the patient was the driver of the motor vehicle.
methodsThe study utilizes data from the 2007-2014 National Trauma Databank (NTDB), a national trauma registry. Status as the driver of the motor vehicle was identified using E-Codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM). Trauma diagnoses were identified using D-Codes from the ICD-9-CM. Statistics were performed using IBM SPSS Version 23.
resultsWe identified 49,660 cases of ocular trauma secondary to an MVA with a 25.3% increase in injuries over the 8-year time period. Men comprised 68.6% (34,057) of cases. Orbital floor fractures (OFFs) were the most commonly observed ocular injury, occurring in 17,647 (35.5%) cases. There were 2,787 cases of open globe injury (OGI) with the highest proportion of cases in the 65 + age group (6.5%). OGIs were seen in 3.0% of cases with OFFs vs. 7.1% in those without. Drivers under 18 were more likely to have optic pathway/cranial nerve injuries (4.4%) and ocular/adnexal contusions (41.2%) than adult drivers. The mortality rate was 4.3% and was highest in the 65 + age group (9.4%).
conclusionMen and young adults comprised the majority of cases of MVA-associated ocular trauma. OFFs were seen in approximately one-third of cases of ocular trauma. OGIs were less commonly observed when a concurrent OFF was observed. Though the overall mortality was 4.3%, there was significant variation by age group.
