[Current importance of heavy fluids as intraoperative aids in vitreoretinal surgery].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A major milestone in the treatment of complex retinal detachment was the development of heavy fluids as intraoperative short-term tamponades. Since the introduction liquid perfluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons are particularly noteworthy. Irrespective of the suitability of the substances in principle, the purity during the manufacturing process is a decisive factor that determines possible side effects. Also, the direct exchange with silicone oil can lead to mixing with disadvantageous results. Retinal surgeons should be informed about the properties of the tamponades used. Despite all expectations, the heavy liquids could not become established compared to silicone oil as a long-term tamponade, which is why their domain is the short-term intraoperative use.
