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

Macular pucker, also known as an epiretinal membrane, sometimes forms after surgical repair of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and can decrease visual acuity and cause aniseikonia. However, few reports are evaluating the risk factors of macular pucker using multivariate analysis. To evaluate the risk factors for macular pucker after RRD surgery, 226 patients who underwent RRD surgery and were monitored for greater than 12 months (23.2 ± 6.4 months) after surgery were analyzed retrospectively. Of these cases, macular pucker developed in 26 cases. Multiple logistic regression models of 22 clinical characteristics were performed. An increased risk of macular pucker after RRD surgery was significantly associated with preoperative vitreous haemorrhage (Odds ratio (OR), 4.71; 95% CI 1.19-18.62), multiple retinal breaks (OR, 8.07; 95% CI 2.35-27.71), re-detachment (OR, 19.66; 95% CI 4.87-79.38), and retinal detachment area (OR, 12.91; 95% CI 2.34-71.19). Macular pucker was not associated with the surgical technique. Regardless of the surgical technique used, careful observation for postoperative macular pucker is needed after RRD surgery in high-risk cases. These findings can be used to improve the surgical management of patients with RRD. (183 words).
