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

purposeTo define the characteristics of vitreoretinal surgeries amid coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic restrictions in Turkey.

methodsThis descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted for vitreoretinal surgeries during the 10-week period (during this period, all elective surgeries were postponed across the country by the order of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health) in a single tertiary referral hospital in Ankara, Turkey. The number of surgeries, surgical indications, risk factors, etiological factors, and associated conditions were investigated and compared with the clinical features of the patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery in the same period of the recent year.

resultsDuring this period, vitreoretinal surgery was performed more commonly for the male population (

conclusionsAmid COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in Turkey, the number of vitreoretinal surgeries was inversely associated with the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. The male population needed more vitreoretinal surgery, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was the most common indication for all patients.
