Vascular density and macular sensitivity in eyes after scleral buckling surgery for macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 the structure and function of the retina after scleral buckling (SB) surgery due to macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
methodsTwenty eyes with repaired macula-on RRD and 20 fellow eyes were included. All patients within 6-12 months of the procedure, were examined to evaluate retinal structure using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and vessel density (VD) by OCT angiography (OCTA). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and microperimetry (MP) tests were used to assess retinal function.
resultsAnalysis of the microvascular network using OCTA between the operated and healthy fellow eyes showed a significant reduction on VD in superficial vascular plexus (SVP), deep vascular plexus (DVP) and radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) (p< 0.001, p = 0.019 and p = 0.008, respectively). Comparison of retinal structure in SD-OCT showed no significant differences on thickness in ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripaillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) (p> 0.05) between examined eyes. Retinal function analysis by MP examination showed a decrease of retinal sensitivity (p = 0.0013) whereas postoperative BCVA showed no differences (p = 0.62) in the operated eyes. Significant Pearson's correlations were observed between retinal sensitivity and VD in SVP, RPC (p< 0.05).
conclusionIn the eyes after SB surgery due to macula-on RRD, changes in retinal sensitivity were accompanied by impairment of the microvascular network assessed by the OCTA.
