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

YAG laser vitreolysis is an innovative procedure to treat symptomatic vitreous floaters. The treatment decision is based on taking a comprehensive patient history, thorough clinical examination, realistic expectations, and detailed patient information including risk of the procedure. Manifestation of vitreous opacities and possible subjective impairments are considerably variable. Dynamic changes over time are possible. Therefore, not all vitreous opacities are suitable for laser treatment. A classification according to histoanatomical origin can aid the treatment decision. In comparison to other ophthalmic YAG laser applications, YAG laser vitreolysis differs predominantly by its specific technical equipment requirements. In addition, treatment is more complex and time consuming, requires appropriate experience and knowledge of the surgeon, and should be carried out with utmost care and accuracy.
