Chopsticks-Induced Traumatic Choroidal Rupture With Submacular Haemorrhage in a Child.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report a case of traumatic choroidal rupture in a child caused by accidental injury with chopsticks at school. A healthy 12-year-old boy presented with severe right eye pain, tearing, and significant blurring of vision (6/60), right eye subconjunctival haemorrhage, corneal abrasion, traumatic mydriasis with uveitis, and posterior subcapsular rosette cataract as well as a massive submacular haemorrhage with 360 degrees of peripheral commotio retinae. Optical coherence tomography of the macula revealed areas of choroidal rupture near the optic disc and at the fovea. Conservative treatment was pursued due to the complexity of paediatric ocular surgery and the risks of intervention. Over time, visual acuity showed limited improvement to 6/36. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of choroidal rupture in children, the importance of trauma prevention in children, and raises awareness on school-related injuries.
