Air versus fluorinated gas tamponades in pars plana vitrectomy treatment for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Article in Acta ophthalmologica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo compare the treatment success of air with fluorinated gas (20% SF
methodsA retrospective cohort study comprised of 1023 consecutive primary retinal detachment cases between 2014 and 2020. We employed a univariate multivariable binary logistic regression model.
resultsWe used intraocular gas tamponades in 872 cases with PVR grade B or lower: air tamponade was used in 414 eyes and 458 eyes were treated with a type of fluorinated gas tamponade. There was no significant difference in the type of tamponade with regard to the re-detachment rate (95% CI -1.0% and 4.1%). Additionally, also in the subgroup of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with inferior located retinal defects we found no significant difference between the two types of tamponade (p = 0.54 Fisher's exact). The multivariable model, which included tamponade, PVR grade, a retinal detachment involving the 6 o'clock position and age as covariates, also showed no significant effect of tamponade choice on treatment success (OR 0.5, 95% 0.2-1.0, p = 0.10).
conclusionWe found no difference in treatment success with air tamponade versus fluorinated gas tamponades in the repair of primary retinal detachments, this also includes inferiorly located retinal tears and detachments.
