Effect of silicone oil on peripapillary capillary density in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of silicone oil (SO) on peripapillary blood flow using OCT angiography.
methodsThis prospective case series recruited patients with unilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who underwent vitrectomy and SO tamponade. Patients were examined before SO removal and at 10 days, 1 month, and 3 months after SO removal on a spectral domain OCT angiography device (RTVue XR Avanti, Optovue Inc., CA, USA) for the measurement of radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) vessel density (VD) in global field, superior hemifield, and inferior hemifield. Changes in RPC VD following SO removal were compared between affected eyes and contralateral eyes.
resultsTwenty-two patients were analyzed. The average duration of SO tamponade was 101.3 days (range, 90 to 119 days). After SO removal, global RPC VD increased by 1.3% (95%CI, 0.3 to 2.3%), compared with a - 0.4% (95%CI, - 1.4 to 0.7%) change in contralateral eyes (P = 0.007). The increase in RPC VD after SO removal mainly occurred in the superior hemifield, which was 1.6% (95%CI, 0.6 to 2.7%). The increase in RPC VD in the inferior hemifield was 1.0% (95%CI, - 0.2 to 2.1%) after SO removal.
conclusionsWe detected a mild increase in peripapillary capillary density after SO removal, mainly in the superior hemifield. Our results suggested that SO tamponade could have negative effect on peripapillary blood flow, possibly by capillary compression.
