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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the long-term change of postoperative retinal shift after pars plana vitrectomy for macular off retinal detachment.

methodsIn this retrospective study, patients with retinal shift after pars plana vitrectomy for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) were examined at 3 weeks and 12 months postoperatively. Fundus autofluorescence images were obtained to visualize retinal rotation. Best-corrected visual acuity was measured and metamorphopsia assessed using the Amsler grid.

resultsNine patients with postoperative retinal shift were included in the study. Retinal shift decreased significantly in these patients, on average by 1.07° (range 0.52-1.62, p = 0.002) after 12 months. However, more patients complained of distorted vision after 12 months (odds ratio for change = 3.0, 95% CI: 0.24 to 157.49). The main reason was the new formation of an epiretinal membrane (odds ratio for change = infinity, 95% CI: 0.41 to infinity). There was no change in visual acuity observed (p = 0.16).

conclusionPostoperative retinal shift after RRD repair decreases over a 1-year span. While retinal shift is the main cause for metamorphopsia in the early postoperative period, formation of an ERM is the main reason for distorted vision long term.
