A Retrospective Case Review of Firework-Related Ocular Injuries in Malaysia.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFireworks are known to cause severe ocular injuries. This study was intended to examine the pattern and visual outcomes of firework-related severe eye injuries in Malaysia. Methods: A retrospective review of fireworks-related eye injuries was conducted in Malaysia from 1
resultsA total of 24 eyes were severely injured due to fireworks. Injuries were mostly among males, accounting for up to 66.67% (n=16), and children under 12 years old (33.33% (n=8)). Among the patients who were admitted due to severe fireworks ocular injuries, 58.33% (n=14) of them had open globe injuries followed by closed globe injuries (41.67% (n=10)), and eyelid injuries (41.67% (n=10)). Following firework eye injuries, at least 41.67% (n=10) of the eyes were blinded.
conclusionThis study revealed severe eye injuries due to fireworks, ending in blindness in over one-third of the cases, and children were particularly vulnerable. Sight loss due to fireworks can be prevented through strong government policy, public awareness, and timely management.
