Pars Plana Vitrectomy for a Sub-Internal Limiting Membrane Hemorrhage and Vitreous Hemorrhage Secondary to Dengue Fever: A Case Report.

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
Although rare, dengue fever-associated ocular manifestations are a valid cause of visual impairment. Clinicians usually have a dilemma between vitrectomy and medical management if there is an associated vitreous hemorrhage. Vitrectomy has been rarely reported previously in the management of vitreous hemorrhage secondary to dengue fever. We report a case of a young adult who presented with bilateral vitreous hemorrhages. The diagnosis of dengue was confirmed by serology and a typical epidemiological context. The patient presented already having undergone yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser hyaloidotomy for preretinal hemorrhage in the other eye, with a subsequent vitreous spread of the hemorrhage. Vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling was performed for the affected eye and the visual acuity was fully regained after a few weeks. Dengue fever can present with dense or sub-ILM hemorrhages. In our case, the vision quickly recovered after vitrectomy and ILM peeling. We, therefore, recommend early vitrectomy in cases with vitreous hemorrhage associated with sub-ILM involvement so as not to delay visual recovery.
