[Advantages and disadvantages of heavy silicone oil].

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
Heavy silicone oil does not have any evidence-based advantages or disadvantages over conventional silicone oil. It is up to the surgeon to choose the type of tamponade considered to be most suitable for the individual eye. Suitable indications for heavy silicone oil are, for example proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and risk of PVR in the lower retina. Persistent or complicated macular holes can often be closed with heavy oil but in exchange higher rates of emulsification and cataracts are to be expected. Heavy silicone oils should not remain in the eye for longer than approximately 2 months, therefore, severe ocular trauma and ocular hypotension are not suitable indications. Initial technical difficulties to remove sticky (rare) oil from the retina have now been overcome by using liquid perfluorocarbons.
