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

aimTo evaluate if there is a difference in the clinical course of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) in vitrectomized versus non-vitrectomized eyes.

methodsObservational multicenter retrospective case series of patients diagnosed with PVRL between 2007 and 2019, at three tertiary centers. The main outcomes were relapse rates, inflammatory parameters, and best-corrected visual acuities (BCVA). Statistical methods used were an adjusted generalized estimating equation model, and a proportional Cox model.

resultsEighty patients (150 eyes) were followed for a median of 1.7 years. At presentation, there were no clinical differences between the groups. The relapse rate was 0.091/eye-year (EY) for vitrectomized eyes and 0.087/EY for non-vitrectomized eyes (p = .35). Vitrectomized eyes had better BCVA than non-vitrectomized eyes (p < .001).

conclusionsVitrectomy had no effect on the relapse rate in eyes with PVRL. However, the decrease in vitreous cell and debris led to vitrectomized eyes having better visual acuity than non-vitrectomized eyes.
