Persistent subretinal fluid following diabetic tractional retinal detachment repair: risk factors, natural history, and management outcomes.

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 study the natural history, anatomical and functional outcomes of persistent subretinal fluid (SRF) after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for diabetic tractional retinal detachment (TRD) and combined traction-rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (TRRD).
methodsRetrospective interventional case series of 43 patients (46 eyes) with persistent SRF following PPV for diabetic TRD or combined TRRD from January 2010 to December 2017 at single tertiary institution. Primary outcomes included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central foveal thickness (CFT).
resultsThirty-one eyes (67.4%) had macula-off TRD, 5 (10.9%) had fovea-threatening TRD and 10 (21.7%) had combined TRRD. The mean (± SD) duration of decreased vision was 48.0 ± 58.2 weeks. The mean follow-up duration was 21 ± 13.2 months. Residual macular SRF was detected by optical coherence tomography in all eyes at 3 months and in 10 eyes (23.8%) at 12 months after surgery. Only 3 eyes (6.5%) had persistent SRF at final follow up. The mean time to resolution was 10.6 ± 4.1 months [range 6.0-23.0]. Thirteen eyes received additional intervention to address SRF. The mean CFT gradually improved until final follow-up (P-value < 0.001). The mean BCVA improved from 1.62 ± 0.88 LogMAR at presentation to 1.05 ± 0.76 LogMAR at final follow up. No statistically significant difference in final BCVA was found between eyes that had intervention and eyes that were observed (P value = 0.762).
conclusionPersistent SRF after diabetic vitrectomy resolves slowly over time with gradual improvement in visual acuity. Additional drainage of persistent SRF may not be necessary.
