Predictors of higher pain in possible open globe injury emergency medical services activations.
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
purposeTo determine predictors of high pain in open globe injury (OGI) cases treated and transported by Emergency Medical Services.
methodsThe National Emergency Medical Services Information System database was queried for activations of OGI between 2017 and 2021. Demographic, location, medication, and date and time information was collected. Cases were divided based on the intensity of maximum pain reported (low pain: below 5/10, high pain: above 5/10). Logistic regression was used to identify significant predictors of high maximum pain.
resultsOf 53,589 cases of OGI, 20,766 reported high levels of pain. Females were more likely to report high pain than males (OR 1.24, CI 1.195-1.285). All age groups between 16 and 75 years old were more likely to report high pain than patients below 15, while all age groups above 75 were less likely. American Indians/Alaska Natives, Black, and Hispanic Americans were all more likely to report high pain than White Americans (American Indian, OR 1.249, CI 1.067-1.461; Black, OR 1.332, CI 1.277-1.390; Hispanic, OR 1.133, CI 1.064-1.207). OGI cases in the Midwest and South regions were less likely to report high pain than those in the West (Midwest, OR 0.868, CI 0.807-0.933; South, OR 0.800, CI 0.748-0.855). Compared to low pain patients, a greater percentage of high pain patients received opioid analgesia (10.04% vs. 0.44%).
conclusionsDemographic factors and location may contribute to higher pain in OGI patients. This information may prove useful in the management of OGI and may warrant further investigation into the nature of open globe trauma.Kindly check and confirm the inserted city is correct for affiliation 3.Correct.
