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
introductionWork-related open-globe injuries are a major cause of preventable vision loss worldwide with a significant socioeconomic impact.
aimTo describe the demographics and clinical characteristics, identify the prognostic factors of work-related open-globe injuries and suggest preventive measures to minimize the incidence of these accidents.
methodsA retrospective study of patients hospitalized in the Ophthalmology Department of Habib Bourguiba University Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia, for occupational open-globe injuries, between January 2020 and December 2022. A medical history and a complete ophthalmological examination were performed on all patients. Initial visual acuity (IVA) was systematically measured. We also studied the factors associated with poor final visual acuity (FVA). Poor visual prognosis was defined as an FVA of less than 1/10 six months after the trauma. Statistical analysis was performed using the system of Statistical Products and Services Solution (SPSS 26.0). A p-value less than 0.05 indicated statistical significance.
resultsThirty-three eyes of 33 patients with work-related open-globe injuries were analyzed. The mean age was 39 ± 11.75 years, with male predominance. Almost half of them, 48.5% were welders. Mechanism of injury was penetrating trauma in 72.7% of cases. The mean presenting IVA was 1/25. Corneal wounds were present in 20 cases. Traumatic cataract was the most common associated lesion and was found in 36.4% of the patients. Intraocular foreign body was noted in 24.2%. The mean FVA was 1.6/10. Initial VA (p=0.04) and VH (p=0.004) was the significant predictive factors for final visual outcome in work-related open-globe injury patients.
conclusionWork-related open-globe injuries are a significant problem commonly encountered in healthcare settings throughout the world. It can cause significant morbidity in a young population of patients. This type of injury can be largely prevented with proper education and use of safety equipment.
