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
backgroundFishing is a popular recreational activity in the United States that has potential to cause serious ocular injuries. The objective of this study was to analyze annual trends in US Emergency Department (ED) visits for fishing-related eye injuries from 2014 to 2023 using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database.
methodsA NEISS database search was conducted for injuries to the eyeball (body part code 77) caused by fishing (product code 3223). Patient demographics, diagnosis, season of injury, and injury mechanisms were examined for each case.
resultsOut of 148 identified cases, 7 were excluded, leaving 141 cases for analysis. These were extrapolated to a national estimate of 6,794 fishing-related eye injuries (95% CI: 4,723-8,865). The number of reported cases decreased by 65.4% over the 10 year study period. Most patients were male (84.4%) and White (55.3%), with a substantial number of cases occurring in children (41.8%). Injuries predominantly occurred while fishing (55.3%) and in summer (35.5%). The leading mechanism was fishing poles, rods, lines, or nets (31.2%), with corneal abrasions as the most common diagnosis (39.0%). The majority (84.4%) were treated and released from the ED.
conclusionsFishing-related eye injuries have declined over the past decade but remain a preventable cause of ocular trauma, particularly among children engaged in recreational fishing. Strengthening public awareness and promoting the routine use of protective eyewear are essential to further reduce these injuries. KEY MESSAGES: What is known Fishing-related eye injuries are a recognized hazard and cause significant traumato the eye and surrounding structures. What is new Using National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) data from 2014 to2023, there was an annual estimate of 6794 fishing-related eye injuries. Over thestudy period, the number of reported cases decreased significantly. Fishing-related eye injuries most often occurred in sports settings, peaked insummer, and were commonly caused by fishing poles and fish hooks, with corneal abrasions being the most frequent diagnosis. The majority were treated andreleased, while 9.9% required admission.
