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 evaluate the outcome of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and combined pars plana vitrectomy with scleral buckle (PPV-SB) in the primary pediatrics rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair.
designA retrospective cohort study.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted in patients under 18 years of age, who presented with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital between January 2014 and October 2018. Primary measurable outcomes were single surgery success rate (SSSR) and rate of postoperative complications.
resultsA total of 122 eyes of 117 patients were included in the study; 80 eyes in PPV group and 42 eyes in PPV-SB group. Mean follow-up period after surgery was 18.2 months ±11 months. SSSR was 76.3% (n=61) and 66.7% (n=28) for PPV and PPV-SB, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between the two methods of RRD repair in single surgery success rate with an OR of 1.3 (
conclusionIn this series, PPV and PPV-SB have comparable results in regard to anatomical success and rate of postoperative complications. More complicated cases were selected to undergo PPV-SB upon surgeons' preference.
