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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the profile of eye injuries in patients treated at the Emergency Room of the National Institute of Ophthalmology 'Dr. Francisco Contreras Campos' in 2023. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and retrospective study was conducted in patients diagnosed in 2023 with eye injuries at the Emergency Room of the National Institute of Ophthalmology "Dr. Francisco Contreras Campos", in Lima - Peru. Results: A total of 413 patients with eye injuries were evaluated, the majority were men (78.2%) and young adults (74.5%). The majority of injuries (79.9%) were mechanical in origin, with foreign bodies being the most common cause (53.8%) and type of injury (39.5%). 97.3% received pharmacological treatment, 7% surgical treatment, and 83.3% other treatments. Most patients (80.2%) maintained their pre-treatment visual acuity, and 12.5% saw improvements. Conclusion: Mechanical injuries, particularly those involving foreign bodies, are the most common. Topical medication, particularly lubricants and antibiotics, are the primary pharmacological treatments. The majority of patients preserve their visual acuity following the intervention.
