Posterior Segment Involvement and Treatment Outcomes of Closed Globe Injury at Tertiary Eye Care Center: An Observational Study.
Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
Introduction: Closed globe injury is a common cause of visual impairment worldwide, affecting both anterior and posterior segments of the eye. This study aimed to determine the posterior segment findings and treatment outcomes in patients with closed globe injury at a tertiary eye care center in Nepal. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 58 patients with clinically diagnosed closed globe injury at a tertiary eye care center in Kathmandu from February 2020 to July 2021. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of the National Academy of Medical Sciences (Ref: 76/2077/078). Detailed demographic, clinical, and ocular examination findings were recorded. Results: Among the 58 patients, 48 (82.76%) were males and 10 (17.24%) females, aged 18-71 years. Fist injuries were, reported in 19 (32.76%) cases, with the left eye affected in 32 (55.17%) patients. At presentation, 30 (51.72%) had normal vision, while 7 (12.07%) were blind. At 6 months, 46 (79.31%) achieved normal visual acuity, with only 1 (1.72%) remaining blind. Commotio retinae was observed in 27 (46.55%) cases of posterior segment findings. At the 6-month follow-up, 44 (75.86%) had fully recovered, while 14 (24.14%) exhibited posterior segment complications, including 4 (6.90%) with choroidal rupture and 2 (3.45%) with optic disc atrophy. Conclusions: Closed globe injury significantly contributes to visual disability, with fist injuries and commotio retinae being common. Young adults are predominantly affected. Early diagnosis and management are critical to optimize visual outcomes.
