A Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression of Pediatric Open Globe Injuries in Türkiye.
Article in Beyoglu eye journal, 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
Objectives: To do a meta-analysis of pediatric open globe injuries (OGI) presented from Türkiye for the 5 years up to June 2023. Methods: We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Statement and the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology criteria. We included studies that analyzed individuals younger than 18 years without age and follow-up period restrictions. We performed random-effects model estimates for the meta-analysis of the relevant studies. We evaluated the heterogeneity with the inconsistency index I2 and the Q-test. Results: The average age of child injuries was 7.4 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.9-8.5) years. While the injury rate in boys was 66.8% (95% CI: 61.8-71.4), it was observed as 33.2% (95% CI: 28.6-38.2) in girls. Home injuries were the highest with 46.9% (95% CI: 22.4-73.1). Sharp-pointed object traumas were the most common, accounting for 71.9% (95% CI: 58.3-82.4). When the trauma zone distribution was examined, it was determined as zone 1 with the highest rate of 63.8% (95% CI: 60.1-67.3). Zone 2 and zone 3 have been observed with decreasing frequency (25.4% and 105%, respectively). The overall effect size of boys was positive in the group whose final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was no light perception (β: 1.1657; p=0.0039). For patients with a final BCVA <0.1, Trauma Zone 1 (β: -0.0054; p=0.0410) and Zone 2 (β: -0.0034; p=0.0211) were found to have a negative overall effect size. Conclusion: OGI is one of the important health problems. We think that standardized research will contribute to the enlightenment of this issue.
