Early vitrectomy in eyes with non-diabetic vitreous hemorrhage.
Article in Therapeutic advances in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Optimal management of non-diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (NDVH) is controversial, and reliability of B-scan ultrasonography in detecting retinal tears (RTs) has been reported to be highly variable by previous literature. Objectives: To report outcomes of conservative versus surgical management of NDVH and reliability of B-scan ultrasonography in detecting RTs and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Design: Retrospective observational single-center cohort study. Methods: Ninety-six consecutive NDVH from 96 eyes (96 patients) with minimum follow-up duration of 12 months were included. Results: Seventy-two eyes (75%) underwent early pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), 19 (20%) were managed conservatively and 5 (5%) underwent late PPV. Initial mean best corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) were 1.95 ± 1.19, 1.19 ± 1.38, and 1.14 ± 1.04 logMAR respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( Conclusion: The benefit of early PPV in NDVH seems to outweigh the risks of surgery, especially in the context of low sensitivity of B-scan in identifying RTs, and significant improvement in final BCVA following surgery may occur. NDVH should be promptly referred to vitreoretinal services, as surgery may be a safer and more advisable option.
