Association between laser flare photometry and symptom duration in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate preoperative blood-ocular barrier disruption via laser flare photometry (LFP) in patients diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and to analyse possible associations with symptom duration and anatomical parameters.
methodsWe retrospectively analysed consecutive patients presenting with RRD at a single centre between January 2016 and March 2020. LFP was performed in both eyes after pupillary dilatation prior to RRD surgery. Symptom duration, extent of retinal detachment, and lens status were assessed. For statistical analysis, we carried out the unequal variances t test and Welch's analysis of variance (ANOVA).
resultsWe included 373 eyes of 373 patients (mean age 63.96 years ± 10.29; female:male ratio 1:1.8). LFP values quantified in photon count per millisecond (pc/ms) increased with longer symptom duration when comparing patients with a symptom duration of 0-3 days (n = 158; 9.25 ± 6.21 pc/ms) and ≥ 4 days (n = 215; 11.97 ± 11.58 pc/ms; p = 0.004). LFP values also rose with the number of retinal quadrants affected by RRD (1 quadrant, 6.82 ± 4.08 pc/ms; 2 quadrants, 10.08 ± 7.28 pc/ms; 3 quadrants, 12.79 ± 7.9 pc/ms; 4 quadrants, 31.57 ± 21.27 pc/ms; p < 0.001), macula off status (macula on, 8.89 ± 6.75 pc/ms; macula off, 12.65 ± 11.66 pc/ms; p < 0.001), and pseudophakic lens status (pseudophakia, 12.86 ± 9.52 pc/ms; phakia: 9.31 ± 9.67 pc/ms; p < 0.001).
conclusionIn RRD patients, blood-ocular barrier disruption quantified by LFP is associated with the duration of symptoms and the disease's anatomical extent. These results warrant further investigation of the potential clinical use of LFP in RRD.
