Ocular injuries in patients with orbital fractures in a tertiary level hospital in Tanzania: A cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundOcular injuries are common in patients with orbital fractures. However, in Tanzania, there is a paucity of studies investigating ocular injuries associated with orbital fractures. Hence, this study aimed to determine the ocular injuries in patients who have sustained orbital fractures in Tanzania.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out for a year at Muhimbili National Hospital. All patients who had sustained orbital fractures were recruited for the study. The questionnaire was designed to obtain patients' sociodemographic information, presenting ocular findings, and outcomes after treatment. The data were analyzed using IBM, NY, USA ® SPSS Statistics version 27.
resultsThe study included 131 patients, with 125 (95.4%) being males, and the mean age of participants was 32.22 ± 9.87 years. All patients (100%) presented with one or more ocular injuries ranging from 1-7. Most (
conclusionThe ocular injuries are evident in all patients who have sustained orbital bone fractures; however, the occurrence of major/serious ocular injury is low. Subconjunctival hemorrhage is the most frequently observed ocular injury.
