1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To review clinical outcomes of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and vitreous hemorrhage (VH) who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with endolaser panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) without retinal detachment (RD) repair. Methods: Retrospective chart review of the rate of postoperative clinical findings and visual acuity in patients with PDR from May 2014 to August 2021. Results: Pars plana vitrectomy with endolaser PRP was performed in 81 eyes of 81 patients (mean age of 62.1 ± 10.5 years). At a median follow-up of 18 months, mean Snellen best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) significantly improved from 20/774 preoperatively to 20/53 at last follow-up ( Conclusion: In patients with PDR and VH, PPV with PRP yielded significant improvements in visual acuity and resulted in overall low rates of recurrent postoperative VH. Preoperative anti-VEGF and PRP laser treatment were associated with lower rates of postoperative VH. Furthermore, intraoperative use of sub-tenon triamcinolone acetonide was associated with a lower rate of postoperative DME. Pars plana vitrectomy with endolaser PRP in conjunction with the aforementioned pre- and intraoperative therapies is an effective treatment for patients with PDR and VH.
