Epidemiology of globe injury repair mechanisms in the TriNetX US collaborative network database: retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundTo analyze demographics, incidence, and prevalence of globe injury repair mechanisms in the TriNetX United States population from 2013 to 2023.
methodsRetrospective cohort study of globe injury repair mechanisms in the TriNetX United States Collaborative Network database from 2013 to 2023. CPT codes from the ICD-10 classification system were utilized to identify repair methods for globe injuries (65275, 65280, 65285, 65286). Demographics were analyzed using two-factor ANOVA for age and chi-squared tests for race, ethnicity, and sex. Incidence and prevalence were analyzed yearly and cumulatively.
resultsOf the 119,347,853 subjects in TriNetX, 231,286 cases of globe injuries were identified. Demographics varied by repair category for age and sex ratios. An ANOVA showed a significant difference between age distribution over the four subtypes (mean age 47.2 ± 21.6 years, p < 0.001). The most common procedure was repair of non-perforating corneal lacerations with or without foreign body removal (n = 182,193) and was the only cohort with a female-predominant population (n = 119,990; 65.89%). Chi-squared tests revealed significant differences by sex (p < 0.001), ethnicity (p < 0.001), and race (p < 0.001). Incidence showed variation from 2013 to 2019; however, a large decrease in incidence was noted from 2019 to 2021.
conclusionsOur findings align with previous research indicating decreased globe injury incidence during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, except for perforating corneal and/or scleral lacerations without uveal tissue involvement. Our study reveals a shift towards higher affected female population than previous literature.
