Multifactor analysis of delayed absorption of subretinal fluid after scleral buckling surgery.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study is to assess the absorption of subretinal fluid (SRF) after scleral buckling (SB) surgery for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). We also examined related factors that may affect the delayed absorption of SRF.
methodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent successful SB surgery for the treatment of macula-off RRD and in which the retina was reattached after the surgery. The patients were categorized according to gender, duration, age, the number, and location of retinal breaks. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), height of subretinal fluid (SRFH), and the choriocapillaris flow density (CCFD) within 3 × 3 mm macular fovea were included. Delayed absorption was determined by the SRF that remained unabsorbed for 3 months after the procedure. The endpoint was determined when the SRF could no longer be observed.
resultsA total of 62 patients (63 eyes) were enrolled. In 35 eyes (56.45%) SRF was completely absorbed and in 28 (43.55%) eyes delayed absorption of SRF in macular areas was observed at 3 months after surgery. A young age (< 35 years), inferior retinal breaks were associated with good outcomes by applying multivariable analysis on the rate of SRF absorption after SB instead of gender, the number of breaks, and duration (p < 0.05). CCFD was significantly different between the SRF group and the non-SRF group after SB (0.66 ± 0.04% vs 0.63 ± 0.05%, P < 0.05). SRFH showed a moderate positive correlation with SFCT (r
conclusionsThe absorption of SRF after SB may be correlated with choriocapillaris flow density. Age and location of breaks are significant factors affecting the absorption of SRF. The duration of disease is an uncertain factor due to several subjective reasons.
