Subretinal silicone oil: OCT imaging findings and surgical management of a rare and unusual iatrogenic complication of retinal detachment surgery.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A man in his 50s underwent vitrectomy surgery for a macular off retinal detachment which was complicated by intraoperative hypotony and suprachoroidal haemorrhage, resulting in the use of silicone oil tamponade. Postoperatively, several retained cysts of fluid were seen underneath the retina, one of which was large and close to the macular. Imaging was used to determine that this was likely retained silicone oil. Given the potential of migration to the macular and retinal toxicity, the decision was made to remove the larger oil bubbles under the retina. We explain how the oil may have got under the retina in this unusual case, how we dealt with it and discuss other cases of different substances under the retina and their appearance on ocular imaging.
