Impact of prior pars plana vitrectomy on development of cystoid macular edema after uneventful cataract surgery.
Article in Journal of cataract and refractive surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo investigate whether a history of prior pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) predisposes to the development of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME).
settingNew York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, New York, New York.
designRetrospective cohort study.
methodsRecords of 365 subjects who underwent PPV for RRD and subsequent cataract surgery between 2017 and 2020 were reviewed. Patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy, inflammatory retinal vascular disease, uveitis, advanced age-related macular degeneration, intraocular infection, myopic maculopathy, or significant intraoperative complications precluding posterior chamber intraocular lens placement were excluded. Age-matched subjects who underwent routine cataract surgery served as controls. Clinical data and macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings up to 4 years postoperatively were obtained.
results54 eyes underwent uneventful cataract surgery by phacoemulsification and had a history of PPV with gas tamponade. 55 eyes underwent uneventful cataract surgery only. The average follow-up time after cataract surgery was 39.1 months. In eyes with a history of PPV, the incidence of OCT-detected CME was 27.8% (15/54) compared with 3.8% (2/55) in the control group ( P < .001) and the incidence of clinically significant CME was 18.5% (10/54) compared with 1.8% (1/55) in the control group ( P = .004). 80% (12/15) of CME cases were treated with topical therapy, and none required intravitreal injection.
conclusionsPrior PPV for RRD is associated with an increased incidence of pseudophakic CME after uneventful cataract surgery. Prophylactic or prolonged postoperative anti-inflammatory topical therapy may be prudent to consider in these patients.
