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 compare the efficacy of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) added the infusion fluid with a control group in the event of grade C PVR in recurrent retinal detachment (RD).
methodsThe records of the patients with recurrent retinal detachment with grade C PVR who underwent vitrectomy for retinal detachment surgery between April 2003 and October 2004 were reviewed retrospectively for this comparative study. The recurrent retinal detachment patients with grade C PVR who underwent vitrectomy and had a minimum post-operative follow-up period of 12 months were included. The patients were divided into two groups as study and control groups. 5-FU (200 microgram/ml) and low-molecular-weight-heparin (LMWH) (5 IU/ml) was added into the infusion solution of the study group. Primary outcome measure of this study was the single operation anatomical success at month 12.
resultsA total of 43 eyes of 43 patients were included. The control group was consisted of 26 eyes (60.5%) and the 5-FU group was consisted of 17 eyes (39.5%). At month 12, single operation anatomical success was obtained in 14 of the 26 patients (53.8%) in the control group and in 16 of the 17 patients (94.1%) in the 5-FU group (p = 0.005).
conclusionFavorable outcomes were obtained in the patients with recurrent RD and grade C PVR in whom 5-FU and LMWH added infusion fluid which was used during vitrectomy.
