Outcome of pediatric retinal detachment using high-density silicone oil.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe high-density silicone oil (Densiron), a mixture of F6H8 with silicone oil, has been used in the management of retinal detachment (RD) complicated by the presence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) with varying rate of anatomical success and visual outcomes.
methodsWe conducted a prospective interventional case series of 22 eyes in 22 children less than 18 years diagnosed with complicated retinal detachment complicated by the presence of PVR in inferior quadrant.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 8.45 ± 3.36 years. There were 14 male and 8 female children. Five patients presented with total RD, 5 had subtotal RD and remaining 10 with inferior retinal detachment. There were 8 children with PVR C1, 13 with PVR C2, 3 with PVR C3. All patient's had macula off RD at presentation. The anatomical success in the form of attached retina was achieved in 21 (95.45%) eyes. Standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy without scleral buckling under general anesthesia was surgical technique employed in all cases.
conclusionDensiron can be an important tamponade agent in pediatric retinal detachment complicated by PVR with increased success rate of retinal re-attachment.
