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 investigate the etiologies of metamorphopsia after successful retinal detachment repair.

methodsIn this retrospective study, we included patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Patients were reviewed after 3 to 6 weeks. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus biomicroscopy, Amsler grid test, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and fundus autofluorescence images (FAF) were obtained from all patients to visualize abnormalities in retinal layers and retinal rotation.

resultsA total of 50 eyes from 49 consecutive patients were included, of whom 12 (24%) complained of postoperative metamorphopsia. The main cause of metamorphopsia was retinal shift after RRD repair (p < 0.001).

conclusionDistorted vision after macula-off RRD is a common and retinal shift was found to be the main reason patients experience metamorphopsia after a successful macula-off RRD repair.
