Emulsification and inverted hypopyon formation of oxane HD in the anterior chamber.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOxane HD(R) is a "heavier-than-water" silicone oil which has a specific gravity of 1.02 g/cm(3). When dispersed into droplets, one expects them to sink. We report a case of emulsification of Oxane HD in an eye that unexpectedly manifested as an "inverted hypopyon".
methodsThe clinical findings of a 45-year-old man who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and Oxane HD endotamponade for a phakic inferior rhegmatogenous retinal detachment are described.
resultsA large silicone oil globule was noted to be floating in the anterior chamber on postoperative day 1. Emulsification of the globule and inverted hypopyon formation were subsequently observed at 2 months postoperatively.
conclusionsEmulsification and inverted hypopyon formation in the anterior chamber may occur with Oxane HD. One explanation might be that the Oxane HD has separated out into its constituent components of silicone and RMN3, which raises questions as to the basis for its claim to be a heavier-than-water tamponade.
