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

purposeTo explore macular perfusion changes in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) involved the macula following successful surgery and to evaluate the correlation between macular blood flow density and visual outcomes using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

methodsThis retrospective study included 14 eyes (14 patients) with macular-off RRD that underwent a standard three-port 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and intraocular gas tamponade combined with phacoemulsification, aspiration, and intraocular lens implantation. OCTA was used to evaluate the macular perfusion changes throughout postoperative 12 weeks in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillary plexus (CCP). The fellow unaffected eyes were used as controls for comparison.

resultsA significant increase in the superficial capillary plexus flow density (SCPFD) (P = 0.000) was observed over time in RRD eyes with successful PPV, as well as the deep capillary plexus flow density (DCPFD) (P = 0.000) and the choriocapillary plexus flow density (CCPFD) (P = 0.000). Final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was positively associated with CCPFD (r = - 0.577, P = 0.031) and non-correlated with SCPFD and DCPFD (P > 0.05).

conclusionsMacular perfusion gradually recovered following successful RRD repair by PPV. OCTA provided a non-invasive method to explore the underlying reason for different postoperative visual outcomes in macular-off RRD patients.
