Longitudinal evaluation of retinal thickness and OCTA parameters before and following silicone oil removal in eyes with macula-on and macula-off retinal detachments.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundTo investigate the longitudinal retinal vascular and structural alterations by using OCTA following successful repair of retinal detachment (RD) by using silicone oil (SO) endotamponade.
methodsA prospective cohort study was performed on 24 eyes of 24 subjects; 17 of them with macula-off and seven with macula-on RD. At least four OCTA scans were generated for each study eye; two before and two after SO removal (SOR). At each session, retinal thickness (RT), vascular density (VD) in the superficial (SCP) and deep capillary plexuses (DCP) and foveal avascular zone(FAZ) size were measured within the fovea, parafovea and whole macular image. The changes in repeated measures of the same parameters especially before and after SOR were performed and compared within macula-on and macula-off groups and between fellow eyes.
results"In the macula-off eyes, RT measurements within the whole macula, fovea and parafovea reduced as compared with their fellow eyes(p < 0.0001, p = 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively) and did not improve after SOR. Additionally, all of the whole macular, foveal, and parafoveal VD measurements at SCP and foveal VD at DCP were less than their fellow eyes after SOR (p = 0.026, p = 0.023 p = 0.026, and p = 0.002, respectively). In macula-on eyes, RT measurements decreased within the parafovea and whole macular area before SOR (p = 0.018 and p = 0.011, respectively) but improved after SOR. Also, VD measurements did not change during follow-up and were not statistically different than their fellow eyes (p > 0.05). FAZ enlargement was found in eyes with macular-off RD after SOR, whereas it was not observed with macular-on RD (p = 0.038and p = 0.237, respectively).
conclusionsTreatment of macula-off RD with SO tamponade has been associated with vascular retinal abnormalities which did not improve following SOR. On the contrary, successful treatment of RD with SO tamponade in macula-on eyes VD measurements of SCP and DCP were not statistically different than their fellow eyes.
