Vitreoretinal surgery in the management of infectious and non-infectious uveitis - a narrative review.
Review in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThis study aims to conduct a narrative review about the current role of vitreoretinal surgery in the management of infectious and non-infectious uveitis.
methodsThis review was performed based on a search of the PubMed database or on relevant published papers according to our current knowledge.
resultsA total of 91 articles were identified in the literature review. With the advance of microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has gained increasing popularity in the management of infectious and non-infectious uveitis. For diagnostic purposes, larger amounts of sample can be obtained by MIVS than traditional vitreous aspiration using needles. For treatment purposes, PPV removes vitreous opacities, decreases inflammatory cytokines and mediators of inflammation, and tackles related complications, including hypotony, epiretinal membrane, macular holes, and retinal detachment. Achieving optimum control of inflammation prior to surgery is important for surgical interventions for non-emergent therapeutic indications and complications of uveitis. Peri-operative inflammation management is essential for decreasing the risk of surgical intervention. An overall complication rate of 42-54% was reported with cataract to be the leading cause of complications.
conclusionMost reports affirm the role of PPV in the management of infectious and non-infectious uveitis, although the quality of data remains limited by a lack of applying standardized reporting outcomes, limitations in study design, and a paucity of prospective data.
