Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair-does age, sex, and lens status make a difference?
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 analyze the correlation between lens status, age, and sex in the epidemiology and success rates of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery.
methodsThe files of all consecutive patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for uncomplicated RRD between Jan 2005 und Dec 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Successful outcome was defined as no retinal redetachment occurring within 3 months after surgery.
results5502 eyes with uncomplicated primary RRD were included. Mean age of the patients was 61.1 years (± 13.6 SD). In the age group over 40 years, a male predominance was found. The percentage of pseudophakic RRD increased from 25 to 40% during the 15 years observation period. In the age group 50 to 69 years, patients with pseudophakic detachments were male in 786 out of 1079 cases (72.9%). In the same age group, 1285 of 2110 (60.9%) patients with phakic RRD were male. Overall, primary success rate after one procedure was 91.2% (5018 of 5502). In the phakic eyes, the primary success rate was higher in those eyes that underwent combined phacovitrectomy (93.0%), compared to those without simultaneous cataract surgery (88.7%; p = 0.002).
conclusionThe ratio of male and female patients with RRD varies between age groups. The proportion of pseudophakic RRD has increased within 15 years. The male predominance in RRD is stronger in pseudophakic than in phakic eyes. In phakic eyes with RRD, a combined phacovitrectomy yielded better anatomical results.
