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 present, to the authors' knowledge, the first reported case of loculated subretinal fluid associated with pneumatic vitreolysis (PVL). OBSERVATIONS: A 74 year old female was followed for 9 months with vitreomacular traction (VMT) and 20/20 visual acuity in her right eye. Her visual acuity decreased at 9 months to 20/50 and she was treated with PVL. VMT release was successful on day 7. An isolated shallow pocket of loculated subretinal fluid developed inferotemporal to the fovea at one month after PVL and persisted for 14 months. The subretinal fluid eventually resolved at 14 months after PVL, and visual acuity improved to 20/30, and there were no electroretinographic abnormalities. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Localized subretinal fluid is an unusual complication of PVL. No adverse visual outcome developed despite the persistent extrafoveal subretinal fluid in this case, and the subretinal fluid eventually resolved over a year after PVL.
