Age distribution and etiological characteristics of patients hospitalized with mechanical ocular trauma from 2017 to 2021.
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
backgroundOcular trauma is a significant cause of visual impairment, imposing substantial social and economic burdens and severely affecting patients’ quality of life. This study aims to analyze the age distribution and etiological characteristics of inpatients hospitalized due to mechanical injuries to the eyeball and its adnexa, and propose relevant strategies for preventing such injuries.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on the medical records of inpatients with ocular mechanical injuries to the eyeball and its adnexa at Xuzhou First People’s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021. The study statistically analyzed the patients’ age distribution, gender, injury types, and causes of injury.
resultsA total of 2,048 medical records were collected, with patients’ ages ranging from 7 months to 96 years. The male-to-female ratio was 4:1. The 10–19 years age group had the smallest number of inpatients (6.2%). The 50–59 years age group had the largest number of inpatients (20.61%). Open globe injury (OGI) was the most common injury type. Pens and scissors had the highest incidence in children aged 0–9 years, accounting for 14.6% and 13.1% respectively (P < 0.05); iron products such as hooks, iron sheets, wires, and metal shavings had the highest incidence in the 20–29 years (25.7%) and 40–49 years (24.3%) age groups (P < 0.05). Falls had the highest incidence in individuals aged over 70 years (20%; P < 0.05).
conclusionThe main causes of mechanical eye injuries in the Huaihai region of China differ by age group: work-related metal objects for middle-aged individuals, sharp objects (pens, scissors) for children, and falls for the elderly. Specific preventive measures are crucial for reducing the incidence of ocular trauma.
