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

purposeThis study evaluates a new surgical technique consisting of minimal vitreous removal under air (minimal interface vitrectomy; MIV) to reduce postoperative complications while preserving the ability to address surgical factors at the retinal break.

methodsThis retrospective analysis examined the outcomes of minimal interface vitrectomies in consecutive cases, with a minimum 12-month follow-up period, of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), recurrent RRD after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), or failed surgery after primary scleral buckling surgery (SBS).

resultsTwelve eyes of 12 patients with RRD underwent MIV. The total surgical duration was 190-300 s (mean, 245.25 s). Eight (66.7%) eyes were treated with cryotherapy, and 4 (33.3%) with endolaser to seal the retinal break. Successful, complete retinal reattachment was achieved in all eyes and maintained during follow-up. No intra- or postoperative complications occurred and no patients developed inflammation or cataract during follow-up. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: We effectively removed traction and subretinal fluid and treated breaks with endolaser or cryotherapy by using a novel minimal interface vitrectomy technique in this selected population.
