Pars plana vitrectomy timing in deadly weapon-related open-globe injuries.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThe objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of vitrectomy timing on anatomical and functional outcomes in cases with open-globe injuries caused by improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
methodsA retrospective review of ocular injuries caused by IEDs was undertaken. The eyes were classified into four groups based on the timing of vitrectomy: early (Group-1; 2-4 days), delayed (Group-2; 5-7 days), late (Group-3; 8-14 days) and very late (Group-4; >14 days).
resultsThe medical records of 351 patients were reviewed, and 212 patients were excluded. A total of 189 eyes of the remaining 139 patients were analysed. Visual improvements were statistically significant compared to the baseline values in all groups (p < 0.001). The early group showed better functional and structural outcomes when compared to the other groups. There was also no proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in the early group, while PVR was at the highest rate (25%) in the very late group and constituted the most significant reason for recurrent retinal detachment.
conclusionBoth functional and anatomical outcomes were better in the early group. Delayed surgery may be indicated for some cases, but 1-week interval seems to be an optimal time-frame in open globe injuries due to IEDs.
