Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Factors for Visual Outcome in Intraocular Foreign Body Cases Treated at a Tertiary Eye Hospital in Indonesia.

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
Objective: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) remain a significant cause of visual impairment worldwide. The complex nature of IOFB cases poses considerable management challenges, contributing to various outcomes. This study aimed to determine clinical characteristics and prognostic factors associated with visual outcomes following IOFB treatments. Methods and Analysis: We conducted a retrospective review of IOFB patients admitted between January 2019 - January 2024 at a tertiary hospital in Indonesia. Medical records were evaluated based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: A total of forty-six patients (46 eyes) were analyzed, of which 76.1% had metallic IOFBs (35 eyes), predominantly caused by hammering metal (70%). Cornea was the most frequent entry site (31 eyes). The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.74 ± 1.01 (logMAR), improving to 1.28 ± 1.03 at the final follow-up. Univariate analysis showed larger IOFB size, worse initial BCVA, longer injury-to-surgery intervals, higher complications, endophthalmitis, traumatic cataract, secondary glaucoma, and primary surgery with lensectomy were significantly associated with poor final BCVA. Multiple logistic regression identified poor baseline BCVA and the need of additional lensectomy procedure as independent risk factors for lower final BCVA. Conclusion: Lower preoperative BCVA and concomitant lensectomy subsequent to IOFB removal were significant predictors of poor visual prognosis.
