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

The vitreous body, the largest intraocular component, plays a key role in eye development, refraction, cell barrier function, oxygen metabolism and the pathogenesis of assorted diseases. Age, refraction and systemic diseases can cause vitreous metabolic abnormalities. With the continuous development of vitrectomy techniques and equipment, vitreous injections and vitrectomies have increased over the recent decades. However, the normal oxygen tension gradient in the vitreous helps to protect the lens and anterior chamber angle from oxidative stress damage, whereas the increased vitreous oxygen tension around lens and the trabecular meshwork after vitrectomy may lead to postoperative nuclear cataract and a high incidence of open angle glaucoma. As a conventional procedure, scleral buckling holds several advantages over vitrectomy in selected cases. This review raises concerns regarding the function of the vitreous, and encourages conducting vitreous interventions prudently.
