Corneal abrasions in burn admissions: severity and geographic access factors in a retrospective cohort.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2026. 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
backgroundCharacterizing the incidence and determinants of corneal abrasions in burn patients and evaluating the roles of burn severity, comorbidities, and social determinants of health (SDOH) in shaping risk can inform screening and care.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to a regional burn center between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2024. Eligible patients had documented burns and a complete ophthalmologic examination at admission. Demographics, burn severity, comorbidities, SDOH indices (Social Vulnerability Index [SVI], Area Deprivation Index [ADI]), geographic access, and outcomes were abstracted from the medical record. Group comparisons were performed using standard statistical tests.
resultsAmong 2023 patients, 90 (4.4%) had corneal abrasions. They had greater total body surface area burned (17.5% vs 6.2%,
conclusionCorneal abrasions occur in about 1 in 20 burn admissions and are strongly associated with burn severity and critical illness. Geographic distance and incomplete race documentation were additional risk factors, while SDOH indices and diabetes were not. These findings identify corneal abrasions as markers of systemic severity and health system disparities, supporting standardized eye-care protocols for high-risk burn patients.
