1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimThis retrospective study should examine and judge the surgical indications and the therapeutic possibilities as well as their complications in patients with ocular manifestations of Marfan syndrome (MFS) diagnosed according to the criteria of the Ghent nosology. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe study included 17 patients. Operative indications were increasing subluxation of the lens, retinal detachments and secondary glaucoma. The operative procedure depended on patient age and findings. Eleven MFS patients were operated in both eyes and six MFS patients in one eye.

resultsStabilization or functional improvement of visual acuity could be achieved in all patients in whom no disorders limiting visual acuity or amblyopia were present preoperatively. In six eyes of five patients, lens insertion was accomplished via a pars plana approach. Lens removal without implantation of an intraocular lens was performed in 16 eyes of 10 patients. Pars plana vitrectomy was accomplished in 12 eyes. Complications were well controlled by pars plana vitrectomy.

conclusionsDifficult preoperative situations and postoperative complications are not rare in MFS patients. However, they can be controlled well by means of modern vitreous surgery.
