Clinical findings and management of intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) in third-world country eye hospital.

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 describe the demoFigurey and clinical characteristics of intraocular foreign body as open globe injury type at National Eye Center Cicendo Eye Hospital.
methodsThis descriptive-retrospective study is based on medical records of patients admitted to National Eye Center Cicendo Eye Hospital diagnosed with intraocular foreign bodies from January 2019 to June 2023.
resultsA total of twenty-one cases of ocular trauma specifically intraocular foreign bodies were recorded based on medical records. A total of 20 cases (95.2%) were male. The incidence of 15 cases (71.4%) of trauma in outdoor activities with the whole mechanism (100%) of penetrations. Most cases were referred cases (57.1%). 11 cases had surgery under 24 h prior to trauma (52.4%). The entry site of the foreign body was on the cornea (17 cases, 81%). Metallic foreign bodies account for 16 (76.2%); most locations are found on the retina (71.4%). More than three fourths of patients had single IOFB (76.2%). Visual acuity is mostly present between counting fingers- 0.1 Snellen. Patients showed to have had retinal breaks (61.9%).
conclusionThe majority of IOFB patients were working-age males. The nature of IOFBs is mostly metallic and retained in the posterior segment.
