Characteristics of Bilateral Retinal Detachment.
Article in Ophthalmologica. Journal international d'ophtalmologie. International journal of ophthalmology. Zeitschrift fur Augenheilkunde, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06292572 (Clinical Characteristics and Surgical Outcomes of the Fellow Eye in Bilateral Retinal Detachments), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
introductionRhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) is still a sight-threatening and potentially blinding disease, especially if both eyes are affected. The purpose of this study is analysing the specific characteristics of bilateral rhegmatogenous RD.
methodsThe files of all 5,791 consecutive eyes undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for uncomplicated RD in a single tertiary retinal centre between January 2005 and June 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.
resultsA total of 300 patients (600 eyes) had bilateral retinal detachment. Interval between initial and subsequent RD surgery was 2.6 ± 2.8 (mean ± SD, median 1.5) years. Symptoms were reported by the patients for 20 ± 75 (median 5) days before presentation in the initial eye and 12 ± 32 (median 4) days in the subsequent eye. 220 patients were male (73%), and mean age at initial RD was 55 years. 183 (61%) of the initial RD eyes were phakic. In the initial eye, more patients had a detached macula, worse visual acuity, and more quadrants involved. Primary anatomic success rate was higher in the subsequent eye (90%) compared to the initial eye (83%). There was no difference in the reattachment rate of fellow eyes with primary failure in the first eye (91%) compared to those with primary success in the first eye (90%). There was a high symmetry between the eyes in terms of type of retinal break, number of breaks, and presumed localization of the causative retinal break.
conclusionPatients with bilateral RD were more commonly male and younger than the group of all RD patients. The proportion of pseudophakia was not different. The majority of fellow eye RD occurred within 2 years after the RD in the first eye. Second eye RD was less advanced and had a better anatomical repair rate. Despite their experience in the first eye and despite typical symptoms, patients presented only after a mean of 12 days with RD in the second eye. RD in the initial and the subsequent eye showed a high symmetry. The anatomic result in the first eye is not a predictor for the anatomic result in the subsequent eye.
