An optical coherence tomography study of residual subfoveal fluid after successful pars plana vitrectomy in patients with diabetic tractional macular detachment.
Observational study in Eye (London, England), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purposeTo analyze the prevalence of residual subfoveal fluid (RSF) after pars plana vitrectomy in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy complicated by tractional detachment of the macula and the effect of RSF on the postoperative visual outcome.
methodsThis study was a prospective observational case study of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) records of 23 patients (24 eyes) with macula-off diabetic tractional retinal detachment (TRD) who underwent successful 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy between July 2012 and December 2015.
resultsThe prevalence of RSF on OCT examination was 100% at 1 and 2 months, 91.7% at 3 months, 70.8% at 6 months, 25.0% at 9 months and 4.2% at 12 months after surgery (p < 0.001). Internal drainage of subretinal fluid (SRF) during primary surgery was performed in 13 (54.2%) eyes. The significant risk factor that was predictive of long-standing RSF was non-drainage of SRF (p = 0.04).
conclusionPersistent RSF is a common OCT finding after clinically successful vitrectomy surgery for the treatment of macula-off diabetic tractional retinal detachment. Internal drainage of SRF with active aspiration can be attempted if intraoperative breaks are found or if faster recovery is required. To date, observation seems to be the best option.
