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

A mechanics based mathematical model for the behavior of an eye encircled by a scleral buckle, a procedure used by surgeons to correct retinal detachment, is developed. Closed form analytical solutions are obtained, and results of numerical simulations based on those solutions are presented. The effects of material and geometric parameters of the scleral buckle, as well as of the ocular pressure, on the deformation and volume change of the eye are studied. Critical behavior is identified, and correlations are drawn with regard to the properties of the buckle, the associated deformation of the eye, and the ocular pressure. The results indicate that a judicious choice of the buckle parameters is advisable for planning surgery. In particular, the initial (undeformed) radius of the buckle is seen to have the dominant influence with regard to deformation of the eye, while the thickness (height) and width, and hence the shape, of the buckle are seen to have minimal influence and may be chosen for other reasons, such as to maximize the comfort of the patient.
