Vitreoretinal surgeons' experience and time interval from pars-plana vitrectomy to cataract extraction.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimTo identify the association of the vitreoretinal surgeons' experience with the time interval between pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) and cataract extraction (CE).
methodsEyes with prior PPV and following CE were included in this retrospective cohort study. The years of practice and the annual case volume were used to describe the surgeons' experience. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between surgeons' experience and the time interval adjusted for the patients age, gender, intraocular tamponade, and case complexity.
resultsOf 132 430 eyes, 1445 eyes were included in this study. In multivariable linear regression analysis, cases performed by surgeons with >20 practice years had longer time intervals compared with surgeons with <10 practice years after adjusted for other variables (
conclusionThe time intervals from PPV to CE is longer in higher-practice-year surgeons. The surgeons' practice years may have a greater effect on the time interval than annual case volume in high-complexity cases. Matching the complexity of vitreoretinal diseases with the surgeons' practice year should be considered.
