Is pseudoexfoliation syndrome associated with vitreoretinal interface abnormalities?
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTo evaluate vitreoretinal interface abnormalities in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome.
methodsThis case-control study was performed in 136 patients diagnosed with unilateral PEX (PEX group) and 139 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers (Control group). Both the affected and contralateral eyes were evaluated in the PEX group and the right eye was evaluated in the Control group. Vitreoretinal interface abnormalities and posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) were evaluated on optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination.
resultsThe incidences of incomplete and complete PVD were significantly higher in the affected than contralateral eye in the PEX group and in the right eye in the Control group (P = 0.009, P = 0.012 and P = 0.004, P = 0.017, respectively). The rates of 'no PVD' were significantly higher in the contralateral eye in the PEX group and the Control group compared to the affected eye in the PEX group (P = 0.003 and P = 0.001, respectively). The odds ratio for incomplete PVD was 3.1 in PEX eyes compared to the contralateral eye in the PEX group and 3.9 compared to the Control group. The rate of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) in the affected eye was significantly different from the contralateral eye in the PEX and Control groups (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). The odds ratio for ERM in PEX eyes was 3.51 compared to the contralateral eye in the PEX group and 4.23 compared to the Control group. In the presence of incomplete PVD, the odds ratio for ERM development was 3.81 in PEX eyes.
conclusionsWe detected high rates of ERMs and incomplete PVD in patients with PEX. It is important to evaluate and follow up PEX cases in terms of vitreoretinal interface abnormalities.
