The Scottish RD survey 10 years on: the increasing incidence of retinal detachments.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundThe Scottish RD Survey reported an incidence of 12.05/100,000/yr in 2009. Data published from Denmark recently confirmed a 50% increase in RD presentations over the last 16 years. We set out to repeat the Scottish RD survey to determine if a similar trend has been observed in Scotland.
methodsAll 16 Scottish VR surgeons, who make up the collaboration of Scottish VR Surgeons (SCVRs) were asked to prospectively record all primary RDs presenting from 12th August 2019 to 11th August 2020. For consistency, the case definitions were the same as for the 2009 Scottish RD Survey. Basic demographic and clinical features were recorded. Age specific incidence was calculated from mid-year population estimates for 2019 obtained from the National Records of Scotland.
resultsThere were 875 RRDs recorded, which gives an updated incidence of 16.02/100,000/year in Scotland. 62.8% occurred in males and the greatest increases were seen in males aged 50-59 (p = 0.0094), 60-69 (p = 0.0395) and females aged 40-49 (p = 0.0312) and 50-59 (p = 0.0024). The proportion of pseudophakic RRDs in this study is 29.4% (253/860). Compared to the 21.6% in the 2010 study, this represents a 28% increase (χ
conclusionOur study confirms that RRD is becoming more common in the UK, reflecting almost identical findings from Denmark. This trend is in part due to increasing myopia, increasing pseudophakia, and possibly other factors. This should be considered when planning VR services and allocating resources in the future.
