Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Surgical Outcomes for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We reviewed the medical records of 438 eyes in 431 patients who had undergone surgeries for rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) or proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR ≥ Grade C) to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic had affected outcomes. The patients were divided into 203 eyes in Group A that had undergone surgery from April to September 2020, during the pandemic, and 235 eyes in Group B that had undergone surgery from April to September 2019, before the pandemic. The pre- and postoperative visual acuity, macular detachment, type of retinal breaks, size of the RRD, and surgical outcomes were compared. The number of eyes in Group A was fewer by 14%.
