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: To document a case of open-globe injury (OGI) caused by a brown bear attack that resulted in a favorable structural and visual outcome. Observations: A 40-year-old Japanese female was transported by ambulance due to OGI with a choroidal hemorrhage in the right eye, resulting in light perception (LP) visual acuity following a brown bear attack. We pursued a two-stage approach, commencing with primary posterior scleral wound repair and an encircling scleral buckle. On postoperative day 17, the patient underwent drainage of the choroidal hemorrhage and pars plana vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery. After the vitreoretinal surgery, visual acuity improved from LP to 20/60. Conclusions and importance: OGIs may result in severe visual impairment, and in the worst case, enucleation. We hypothesize that primary encircling scleral buckle and vitreoretinal surgery in a two-stage approach are factors contributing to a favorable structural and visual outcome. There are no reports of good visual acuity following a brown bear attack. Preoperative surgical planning and appropriate intraoperative re-assessment are crucial.
