Development of a nomogram for predicting early visual acuity outcomes and reoperation rate in patients with open globe injury.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. 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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the occurrence and factors influencing early visual acuity (VA) outcomes and reoperation rates in patients with open globe injuries (OGI) and develop a nomogram for predicting early visual acuity outcomes and reoperation rate.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of data from 121 patients with treated OGI. Relevant information of all patients with OGI were collected after a 1-month timeframe post-surgery. Continuous variables were described using descriptive statistics, while categorical variables were described via frequency distributions between different groups. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsThere were significant differences between patients with reoperation group and patients without reoperation in term of gender, initial visual acuity, length of stay, and Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT) types of injury. The result showed that initial VA, laterality, the BETT types of injury, location, retinal detachment, orbital CT, and intraoperative changes were related to the VA outcome, and initial VA is the most significant factor. Constructed nomogram based on those variables had a good efficiency in predicting the VA outcome. We obtained eight variables related to reoperation, including initial VA, age, length of stay, Gender, BETT, iris prolapse, retinal detachment, and type of anesthesia, and age is the most important factor. The nomogram based on those variables had a good efficiency for predicting the reoperation. Furthermore, the DCA showed that utilizing a reference threshold of 0.71 for VA outcomes and 0.79 for reoperation rates may offer clinical net benefit.
conclusionsOur models showcase significant predictive efficacy in evaluating early VA outcome and reoperation rate, offering valuable insights to ophthalmologists in their clinical decision-making endeavors.
