Pars plana vitrectomy relieves the depression in patients with symptomatic vitreous floaters.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
aimTo investigate the depressive state among the patients with symptomatic vitreous floaters (SVF), as well as its change after SVF removal
methodsTwenty-eight eyes of 28 patients who underwent 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for SVF were included. Thirty-nine eyes of 39 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers without SVF were also recruited as a healthy control. Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) was used to assess volunteers and patients' depression (before and 1wk after PPV).
resultsThe CES-D score was 18.3±8.6 for patients, and was 12.4±6.0 for healthy control (
conclusionThis study suggests that symptoms of vitreous floaters have an apparently negative impact on patients' psychological state. The PPV can effectively relieve the depressive state for patients with SVF.
