Intraoperative OCT-Assisted Retinal Detachment Repair in the DISCOVER Study: Impact and Outcomes.
Article in Ophthalmology. Retina, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate intraoperative OCT (iOCT) utility and outcomes during retinal detachment (RD) repair.
designThe Determination of Feasibility of Intraoperative Spectral-Domain Microscope Combined/Integrated OCT Visualization during En Face Retinal and Ophthalmic Surgery (DISCOVER) intraoperative OCT study is a prospective Institutional Review Board-approved study.
participantsParticipants in the DISCOVER study undergoing surgical repair for RD.
methodsThis was a post hoc analysis of eyes in the DISCOVER study undergoing surgical repair for RDs. Inclusion criteria included iOCT after perfluorocarbon liquid placement and at least 6 months follow-up. Exclusion criteria included severe retinal pathology unrelated to RD. Surgeons completed standardized questionnaires after each case evaluating the iOCT instrument's utility. Functional and surgical outcome data were collected at the latest available time point between 6 and 12 months. Outcomes were evaluated in 2 groups: uncomplicated primary and complex cases.
main outcome measuresIntraoperative OCT utility, single-surgery success, and visual acuity outcomes.
resultsA total of 103 eyes were included in this study: 51 uncomplicated primary and 52 complex cases. Intraoperative OCT provided valuable information in 36% of cases. In 12% of cases, iOCT data directly altered surgical decision making. There was a significantly higher rate of valuable iOCT feedback in complex cases compared with primary cases (50% vs. 22%, P < 0.01). Among primary cases, 48 (94%) had successful single surgery repair with a mean postoperative visual acuity of 20/47 compared with the complex group's 75% single surgery success (n=39) and mean postoperative visual acuity of 20/92.
conclusionsThis study affirms the potential impact of iOCT in assisting select cases of RD repair, particularly with complex pathology. The single surgery success rate was good with more than 80% of cases successfully repaired with 1 surgery.
