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

purposeTwo diabetic case reports of serous retinal detachment (SRD) accompanied by pachychoroid in hypotony maculopathy after trabeculectomy for neovascular glaucoma (NVG). OBSERVATIONS: Case 1: A 66-year-old female with stage 3 NVG and decreased vision acuity in the left eye. After trabeculectomy, postoperative laser suture lysis (LSL) resulted in development of hypotony maculopathy, followed by pachychoroid and SRD. Injection of C3F8 gas in the anterior chamber was unsuccessful and transconjunctival scleral re-suturing was performed. Intraocular pressure (IOP) consequently increased and SRD improved. Case 2: A 60-year-old man with stage 2 NVG and decreased vision acuity in the right eye. Trabeculectomy was uneventful, but postoperative LSL also resulted in development of hypotony maculopathy followed by pachychroid and SRD. Intravitreal bevacizumab injection had no effect and transconjunctival flap re-suturing was performed. IOP consequently increased and SRD improved.

conclusionsSRD accompanied by pachychoroid was observed in hypotony maculopathy in diabetic cases. VEGF-independent exudative change in hypotony maculopathy may be due to hydrostatic pressure elevation in choroidal blood vessels based on Starling's hypothesis with the consequent breakdown of retinal pigment epithelium barrier in diabetic patients.
