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
backgroundPerfluorohexyloctane (F6H8) is the first medium that can be transiently used as postoperative heavy vitreous substitute expanding the technique of intraocular tamponade by the principle of an inferiorly acting medium. Legally it can be used for up to 3 months. So far very few clinical reports are available on the efficacy and possible complications of F6H8. It was the aim to analyze this in a group of patients with retinal redetachment after one or several previous retinal/vitreoretinal interventions. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included 17 patients (10 male, 7 female, median age 66 years, range 34-88 years) with a complicated retinal redetachment (at least inferior quadrants). Median duration of intraocular F6H8 use was 25 days. Follow-up was limited to 6 months.
resultsPrimary retinal reattachment could be achieved in 16/17 eyes. 8/17 developed retinal redetachment during follow-up. After additional surgery 12/17 presented complete retinal attachment, 4/17 subtotal attachment and 1/17 total retinal detachment. The latter was enucleated as a consequence of several further complications such as chronic hypotony, severe keratopathy and painful atrophy. The spectrum of complications during and after F6H8 tamponade included dispersion 17/17 (10/17 clinical, 7/17 minor), hypotony (endpoint) 14/17, massive cell precipitation on lens/IOL or in the anterior segment 7/17, severe progression of capsular fibrosis (8/17), and keratopathy 6/17.
conclusionsThe spectrum of postoperative complications after F6H8 use, especially the high proportion of eyes with chronic hypotony, indicates that F6H8 may not be a recommendable option in eyes with a complicated surgical history.
