Shorter Axial Length Is a Risk Factor for Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy Grade C in Eyes Unmodified by Surgical Invasion.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo investigate the risk factors for the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade C (PVR-C), independent of prior surgical invasion.
methodsPatients who underwent surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were prospectively registered with the Japan-Retinal Detachment Registry, organized by the Japanese Retina and Vitreous Society, between February 2016 and March 2017. Data obtained from general ophthalmic examinations performed before and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery were analyzed.
resultsWe included 2013 eyes of 2013 patients (men, 1326 (65.9%); mean age, 55.2 ± 15.2 years) from amongst 3446 registered patients. Preoperative PVR-C was observed in 3.6% of patients. Propensity score matching revealed that a shorter axial length (AL) was a risk factor for preoperative PVR-C (OR (Odds Ratio), 0.81; 95% CI (Confidence Interval), 0.69 to 0.96;
conclusionsA shorter AL was related to the development of PVR-C before surgical invasion. Our results will help elucidate the fundamental pathogenesis of PVR and caution clinicians to meticulously examine eyes with a shorter AL to detect retinal detachment before PVR development.
