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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify prognostic factors in patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) following open globe injury (OGI) and to evaluate surgical outcomes of PPV in eyes with no light perception (NLP) at presentation after OGI.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent primary repair for severe ocular trauma, subsequently required PPV due to posterior segment damage, and had a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Patients were divided into two groups based on initial best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA): Group 1, no light perception (NLP); and Group 2, light perception (LP) or better. Clinical characteristics, as well as final anatomical and visual outcomes, were compared between the groups. Additionally, the role of PPV was specifically evaluated in eyes that were most severely affected by trauma and presented with NLP after primary repair.
resultsA total of 47 eyes from 47 patients were included. Twelve eyes had NLP after primary repair for OGI. Among these, five eyes remained NLP, two (16.7%) improved to light perception (LP), three (25.0%) to hand motion, one (8.3%) to counting fingers, and one (8.3%) achieved a visual acuity of 20/60 at final follow-up. Final anatomical success was achieved in 39 of 47 eyes (82.9%). Visual improvement was observed in 91.4% of eyes (32/35) with preoperative visual acuity of at least LP, and in 58.3% of eyes (7/12) with NLP prior to vitrectomy. No eyes required enucleation. Retinal detachment (p<0.001), retinectomy (p=0.01), silicone oil use (p=0.001), and the need for a second vitrectomy (p=0.019) were associated with poor prognosis.
conclusionIn patients with loss of LP secondary to severe ocular trauma, PPV can achieve high rates of anatomical success, with a significant proportion regaining ambulatory vision when appropriate surgical techniques are employed.
