1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundxPosterior segment intraocular foreign body (IOFB) injuries are among the most severe forms of ocular trauma and are associated with highly variable visual outcomes. Identifying reliable prognostic factors remains clinically challenging.

methodsThis longitudinal study included 117 patients who underwent surgical removal of posterior segment IOFBs at a tertiary referral center between 2016 and 2021. Demographic data, injury characteristics, ocular findings, surgical variables, and Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) were recorded. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, logMAR) was assessed preoperatively and up to 12 months postoperatively. Univariate and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of final BCVA.

resultsMean BCVA improved significantly from 1.51 ± 0.84 logMAR preoperatively to 0.97 ± 0.77 logMAR at 12 months (P < 0.001). Poor visual outcome was significantly associated with the presence of RAPD, endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, traumatic cataract, and larger IOFB size. OTS demonstrated the strongest independent association with final BCVA (β = - 0.81, P < 0.001). Hammering-related injuries were associated with better visual outcomes.

conclusionVisual outcomes after posterior segment IOFB injuries are largely determined by initial trauma severity. The Ocular Trauma Score is a robust predictor of final visual acuity and should be incorporated into early risk stratification and patient counseling.
