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

backgroundTo compare pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with 1300 cs silicone oil and scleral buckle (SB) vs PPV with Oxane HD tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with inferior retinal breaks (IRB).

methodsTwenty eyes of 20 consecutive patients with primary inferior RRD and PVR >or=CP2 were alternatively assigned to PPV and 1300 cs silicone oil and segmental SB in the inferior periphery (group 1, n = 10) or PPV with Oxane HD (group 2, n = 10) in order of presentation. Silicone oil/Oxane HD removal was performed 12 weeks after surgery. Subjects were followed up for 6 months from oil removal.

resultsOperative time was lower in Oxane HD group (P = 0.012). In both groups, the retina was primary reattached at the third month after oil removal in nine eyes (90%). At the end of follow-up, retina was reattached in nine eyes (90%) in group 1 (including one eye with oil in situ), and in eight eyes (80%) in group 2 (P > 0.05).

conclusionsSilicone oil+SB and Oxane HD appear equal for primary RRD with IRB, but a large multi-centre study is required. Oxane HD permitted a reduced operative time.
