Silicone oil removal: post-operative complications.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
purposeTo describe the characteristics, outcomes and complications of eyes after silicone oil removal.
methodsRetrospective case series of eyes that underwent oil removal between 2012 and 2016 at The Institute of Ophthalmology and Visual Science. Visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and rates of retinal re-detachment, hypotony, ocular hypertension, corneal decompensation, cystoid macular edema (CME) and cataract progression were evaluated.
resultsTotally, 101 eyes of 99 patients (65% male, average age 47.2 years) were identified. Oil tamponade had been used for retinal detachment (RD) repair in all eyes; 15 eyes had also undergone an open globe repair previously. The most common vitreous substitutes used after oil removal were balanced salt solution (BSS) and air in 90% of eyes. The average time of oil tamponade before removal was 9.46 months. The average logMAR VA before oil removal was 1.7 which improved to an average of 1.4 post-operatively. The average IOP pre-operatively was 16.1 mm Hg, which decreased to an average of 14.8 mm Hg post-operatively. Complications after oil removal, included retinal re-detachment (6.9%), hypotony (7.9%), ocular hypertension (12.9%), corneal decompensation (9.9%), CME (2%) and cataract progression (68%).
conclusionThis study showed an overall improvement in VA and decrease in IOP after oil removal. Cataract progression was the most common complication.
