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 analyse the influence of renal function on the outcomes of vitrectomy for tractional-related complications in cases of severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

methodsRetrospective consecutive case series of 109 eyes that underwent vitreoretinal interventions for traction-related complications of severe PDR from 2014 to 2017. Data collected included patient demographics, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), surgical complications, and systemic markers including HbA1c and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Renal function categories were defined as low (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsA total of 109 eyes (56% (n = 61) female) were included in the study. Overall, mean baseline BCVA improved from 1.33 logMAR to 0.91 logMAR (p < 0.001) postoperatively. Patients with low eGFR had significantly worse baseline BCVA (p = 0.039) and demonstrated greater improvement in mean BCVA (p = 0.059). Multivariate regression analysis indicated that seven predictors explained 65.5% of the variance (R

conclusionsReduced renal function does not adversely affect visual outcomes of vitrectomy for traction-related complications of PDR.
