Retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of childhood ocular trauma, 2020-2024.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundThis study retrospectively analysed and summarized the age, causes, clinical characteristics, and treatment of paediatric patients with ocular trauma hospitalized at Hebei Eye Hospital and aimed to provide effective guidance for the prevention and postinjury treatment of paediatric ocular trauma. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a systematic retrospective analysis of 704 paediatric patients with ocular trauma who were admitted to the Department of Ocular Trauma at Hebei Eye Hospital from January 2020 to December 2024. Patients included 550 males and 154 females aged 1-17 years, with a mean age of 9.33 ± 4.66 years. A systematic retrospective analysis was conducted on the basis of age, sex, injured eye, initial consultation time, injury location, injury cause, injury type, treatment methods, ocular complications, and visual acuity before and after treatment.
resultsThe male-to-female ratio in this study was 3.57:1, with a higher prevalence in boys. The results of this study revealed that the most common location at which childhood ocular trauma occurred was at home (40.3%) and that the most common type of ocular trauma was ocular adnexal trauma, followed by open and closed ocular trauma. In this study, approximately 74.9% of the children underwent primary tissue repair and suturing within 24 h of their initial consultation, and approximately 16.6% of the children underwent secondary surgeries. Fisher's exact test revealed that accompanying lens damage, accompanying retinal or optic nerve damage, endophthalmitis, admission vision, secondary surgery, and the type of secondary surgery were significantly (P < 0.05). Factors for which P < 0.05 were included in a multivariate binary logistic regression model for analysis. The following factors were statistically significant in the multivariate analysis: lens damage, retinal or optic nerve damage, endophthalmitis, secondary surgery, secondary cataract surgery, and vitrectomy with intraocular lens implantation (P < 0.05).
conclusionIn summary, ocular trauma in children may lead to irreversible visual impairment. Therefore, preventive measures and increased awareness regarding eye protection among parents are highly important for reducing the incidence of ocular trauma in children.
