1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes and postoperative characteristics, between eyes that underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for RRD, with air or different gas agents as tamponade. SUBJECTS/

methodsThe records of 262 patients that underwent PPV for RRD with air or different gas tamponades and a follow-up of at least 6 months were examined. Only cases with superior retinal breaks were included. Demographic, pre-, intra- and postoperative characteristics including rate of recurrence and complications were analysed.

results48 patients were treated with air and 214 were treated with gas. No differences were found in success rate between air and gas group at both 3 and 6 months (respectively, 93.8% vs 93.6 and 100% vs 100%, all P values > 0.05). Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was significantly higher in the air group compared with the gas group 7 days and 1 month postoperatively (respectively, 0.2 ± 0.4 vs 2.6 ± 0.5, P < 0.001 and 0.1 ± 0.4 vs 0.4±0.9, P = 0.04). The occurrence ocular hypertension at 1 month postoperatively was significantly higher in the gas group compared with the air group (15.4 % vs 0%, P < 0.001). At 6 months, the prevalence of epiretinal membrane (ERM) was significantly higher in the gas group compared with air group (4.2% vs 16.8%, P = 0.02).

conclusionsAir was comparable to gas tamponades in terms of surgical outcome and BCVA at 6 months. In addition, air allowed an earlier visual recovery and resulted in a lower rate of postoperative ocular hypertension and ERM.
