Thermal ocular burns and evaluation of associated limbal stem cell deficiency in the light of global consensus.
Article in International 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
purposeThe aim of the present study is to examine the demographic data and clinical features of ocular surface injuries due to thermal burns and to evaluate LSCD in the light of global consensus.
methodsThirty-three eyes of 20 cases with ocular surface injury due to thermal burn who attended to the clinic between 2012 and 2023 were included in the study. LSCD severity was staged according to the global consensus which was published in 2019.
resultsThe mean age of 20 cases was 45.8 ± 13.362 (19-78) and female/male ratio was 4/16. The causes of thermal burns were exposure to fire in 10 (50%), molten metal in 5 (25%), pressure cooker explosion in 3 (15%), and hot water in 2 (10%) cases. The number of cases who recovered without sequelae was 15. The observed sequelaes were LSCD (21.2%), symblepharon (6.06%), and corneal opacity (9.09%). Considering the distribution of LSCD, 28.57% of the eyes were Stage Ia, 14.28% were Stage Ib, 28.57% were Stage IIb, 28.57% were Stage III. The symblepharon was Stage IIa in 2 patients. Surgery was performed in 4 patients with sequelae (penetrating keratoplasty in 1, corneal debridement in 1, limbal autograft in 1, amniotic membrane transplantation + symblepharon excision + limbal autograft in 1 eyes).
conclusionMost of the thermal injuries heal without sequelae. If a sequela takes place, the most common one is severe LSCD-half of which are severe.
