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

purposeFoldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) is an emerging vitreous substitute that has been recently introduced to treat various advanced vitreoretinal conditions including severe ocular trauma, complicated retinal detachment (RD), and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

methodsReview protocol was prospectively registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022342310). A systematic literature search using PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Google Scholar for articles published until May 2022 was performed. The search included the following keywords: foldable capsular vitreous body, FCVB, artificial vitreous substitutes, and artificial vitreous implants. Outcomes included indications of FCVB, anatomical success rates, postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and complications.

resultsA total of 17 studies that utilized FCVB up to May 2022 were included. FCVB was used intraocularly as a tamponade or extraocularly as a macular/scleral buckle for various retinal conditions including severe ocular trauma, simple and complex RD, silicone oil-dependent eyes, and highly myopic eyes with foveoschisis. FCVB was reported to be successfully implanted in the vitreous cavity of all patients. Final retinal reattachment rate ranged from 30 to 100%. Postoperative IOP improved or was maintained in most eyes, with low postoperative complication rates. Improvement in BCVA ranged from 0 to 100% of subjects.

conclusionIndications of FCVB implantation have recently widened to include multiple advanced ocular conditions such as complex RD, but also include simpler conditions as uncomplicated RD. FCVB implantation showed good visual and anatomical outcomes, few IOP fluctuations, and a good safety profile. Larger comparative studies are required to further evaluate FCVB implantation.
