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 investigate the effect of 360° intra-operative laser retinopexy (ILR) for the prevention of retinal re-detachment in patients treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
methodsA retrospective single-institution cohort study was performed. Consecutive patients with primary uncomplicated RRD who underwent 23-gauge PPV with gas endotamponade between July 2013 and July 2016 were included in the study (n = 151). Two cohorts were compared: one which received laser retinopexy only around identified tears/holes/lattice zones (Control group, n = 86), and one which received additional 360° intra-operative laser retinopexy (360° ILR group, n = 65).
resultsRetinal re-detachment was seen in 4/65 eyes (6%) in the 360° ILR group compared to 18/86 eyes (21%) in the control group. In multiple logistic regression, the 360° ILR was associated with a 75% reduction in the odds of retinal re-detachment compared to control (OR = 0.248, 95% CI [0.079-0.772], p = 0.016). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of epiretinal membrane formation between the two groups.
conclusionsIntra-operative 360° laser retinopexy during PPV with gas endotamponade resulted in a significant reduction in the odds of postoperative retinal re-detachment in eyes with uncomplicated primary RRD.
