1000 cSt silicone oil vs heavy silicone oil as intraocular tamponade in retinal detachment associated to myopic macular hole.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03383731 (A Single Center, Randomized and Controlled Clinical Study of Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Insertion Combined With Air Tamponade in the Treatment of Macular Hole Retinal Detachment in High Myopia), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundSeveral surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of retinal detachment (RD) associated to myopic macular hole (MMH). In this retrospective study, the anatomical and functional outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with long-term tamponade, using either 1000 cSt silicone oil (SO) or heavy silicone oil (HSO), are compared.
methodsForty-two eyes affected by RD associated with MMH were included. The surgical technique involved standard 3-port 20-gauge PPV with long-term tamponade. The patients were divided into two groups, according to the intraocular tamponade: SO in group 1 (n = 17), and HSO in group 2 (n = 25). Internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal was performed in 15 cases of group 1 and 20 cases of group 2. Tamponade removal was performed 2 to 5 months after primary surgery. The patients were assessed 1 week and 1 month after primary surgery, and then 1 week and 1 month after tamponade removal or after further surgery if macular redetachment had occurred. The patients were also visited every 2 months for at least 1 year after final tamponade removal. Follow-up was considered closed at 1 year after final tamponade removal.
resultsPreoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), expressed as LogMar, was 2.8 ± 0.77 for group 1 and 2.1 ± 0.94 for group 2. At the last visit, the BCVA was 1.41 ± 0.96 and 1.48 ± 0.77 for groups 1 and 2 respectively. Retinal reattachment was achieved with one operation in 13 eyes of group 1 (76.5%) and 18 of group 2 (81.8%) (P = 0.69). The average number of surgery needed to achieve retinal attachment by patients of group 1 and 2 was respectively 1.36 ± 0.63 and 1.46 ± 0.59 (P = 0.77). Five patients of group 1 and four of group 2 developed a chronic glaucoma (P = 0.238).
conclusionsPPV with ILM peeling and long-term tamponade was demonstrated to be a good surgical option to treat RD due to MMH; SO and HSO seemed to be equally effective, although the success rates remained far from an ideal 100%.
