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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of heavy silicone oil Oxane Hd as intraocular tamponade in the treatment of complicated retinal detachment (RD).

methodsForty eyes of 40 patients with complicated RD were recruited for this prospective study. Inclusion criteria were proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade > or = CP2, mainly inferior and posterior retinal breaks, or superior retinal breaks with patient's inability to posture. Oxane Hd was used as intraocular tamponade. The retinal status, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) results, and any complications were observed.

resultsThe mean duration of Oxane Hd endotamponade was 87.9 +/- 10.4 days, and the mean follow-up time after Oxane Hd removal was 438.1 +/- 153.7 days. The primary anatomical success rate after Oxane Hd removal was 87.5%, and with further intervention 97.5%. The BCVA significantly improved, from mean logMAR 2.12 +/- 0.60 to 1.38 +/- 0.59 (P < 0.001). The postoperative complications included temporary inflammatory reaction, moderately high intraocular pressure, heavy silicone oil emulsification, lens opacity and retinal proliferative membranes.

conclusionsWithout a requirement for postoperative prone position, heavy silicone oil Oxane Hd is effective and safe for the treatment of complicated RD with inferior and posterior breaks. Larger groups and a longer follow-up period will be included to further evaluate the efficacy with Oxane Hd in superior retinal breaks.
