Posterior vitreous detachment rate following intravitreal dexamethasone injection.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo determine whether intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant induces posterior vitreous detachment or not.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 810 eyes of 405 patients who underwent intravitreal DEX implantation due to macular edema caused by diabetic and retinal venous occlusion in our clinic. The eyes having no injection were determined as the control group. The examination findings of the patients before the injection and 3mo after the injection and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images were scanned. The pre-injection OCT findings and OCT findings of the patients having no posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and determined to have partial PVD were compared.
resultsThe separation in vitreoretinal adhesion and total PVD development of DEX-injected 56/208 (26.9%) eyes were statistically greater in comparison with the 12/129 (9.3%) eyes that had not been injected (
conclusionIt can be stated that intravitreal DEX implant induces PVD development. Prospective, controlled studies are required in order to determine prognosis of vitreoretinal disease in PVD-developed patients and in non-PVD-developed patients.
