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 evaluate changes in the microcirculation of various retinal layers and choroid following successful repair of macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

methodsTwenty-eight patients (28 eyes) who underwent successful repair of macula-off RRD were prospectively investigated. Differences in OCTA characteristics between retinal detachment (RD) and fellow eyes were compared. Quantitative measurements of the retinal capillary and choriocapillary associated with the preoperative and intraoperative factors were analyzed.

resultsThe mean vessel and parafoveal vessel densities were significantly lower in the superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) and deep retinal capillary plexus (DCP) in the RD eyes than the fellow eyes. Presence of preoperative intraretinal separation in the RD eyes was significantly associated with both an enlarged foveal avascular zone (P = 0.022) and a lower DCP vessel density (P = 0.031) postoperatively. Eyes with a scleral buckle alone had a greater postoperative subfoveal choroidal thickness (P = 0.037). Eyes undergoing vitrectomy alone had a higher postoperative vessel density in the choriocapillaris (P = 0.035). Eyes undergoing a vitrectomy and scleral buckle had a lower SCP (P = 0.031) and DCP (P = 0.035) vessel density postoperatively.

conclusionsMacula-off RRD may cause not only retinal structural damage but also decreased retinal perfusion even after successful anatomical repair. Our findings suggested that RD eyes had a significantly lower vessel density than fellow eyes after surgery. The combined procedure might result in a lower vessel density, as compared with a scleral buckle or vitrectomy alone.
