Vitrectomy with scleral buckling versus with inferior retinectomy in treating primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with PVR and inferior breaks.
Article 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 6 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 evaluate anatomic and functional outcomes of patients treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with scleral buckling versus PPV with inferior retinectomy for treatment of cases of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and inferior retinal breaks.
methodsRetrospective, comparative, interventional, single-center study. Fifty-one eyes of fifty-one patients with primary RRD associated with inferior breaks and PVR grade C1 or more were reviewed over 3 years. Twenty-one eyes underwent PPV with encircling band 360° and thirty eyes underwent PPV with primary inferior retinectomy. The primary outcome was final anatomic success. Secondary outcomes included change in visual acuity, primary anatomical success, the mean number of operations, and incidence of postoperative complications.
resultsPrimary anatomical success of 85.7% was achieved in buckle group compared to 83.3% in retinectomy group (p = 0.82). Mean duration of follow-up and mean number of operations was 9.8 ± 2.26 and 9.97 ± 2.44 months; 1.24 ± 0.62 and 1.3 ± 0.75 in buckle group and retinectomy group, respectively, achieving final anatomical success of 95.2% for the buckle group and 90% for the retinectomy group with no statistical significant difference (p = 0.49). Although visual acuity (logMAR) was better in the buckle group in the 1st month, it became nearly equal thereafter during the follow-up period (p = 0.5).
conclusionSimilar anatomical and functional outcomes were achieved by combining PPV with scleral buckle or inferior retinectomy for treatment of primary RRD with PVR and inferior breaks.
