Evaluation of macular vessel density changes after vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
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 10 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 evaluate macular microvasculature changes in eyes after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and intraocular silicone oil (SO) tamponade for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
methodsTotally 19 eyes (19 patients) with macula-off RRD who underwent PPV and intraocular SO tamponade were retrospectively reviewed. The parafoveal superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vessel density (VD), deep capillary plexus (DCP) VD, choriocapillaris plexus (CCP) VD, and foveal macular thickness were evaluated using OCTA throughout 16wk postoperatively. The values of healthy fellow eyes were used as control.
resultsThe parafoveal SCP, DCP, and CCP VDs were significant increased over time in RRD eyes during the 12wk postoperatively, then decreased at 16wk postoperatively (all
conclusionThe parafoveal SCP, DCP, and CCP VDs gradually recover over time after PPV surgery with SO tamponade. Long-time SO tamponade might decrease postoperative macular VDs. Compared to parafoveal CCP VD, the parafoveal SCP and DCP VDs were more vulnerable in RRD eyes postoperatively.
