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

We report a case of fibrinoid reaction after diabetic vitrectomy surgery. Our case report describes a male patient with severe fibrinoid reaction with both intravitreal fibrin bands and subretinal fibrin and fluid following vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy. He was managed initially with posterior subtenon and suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone as well as intravitreal injection of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Fluid-air exchange and air-fluid exchange were also performed to remove the fibrin degradation product. 1 millimeter of air tamponade was placed in the vitreous cavity to displace the remaining subretinal fibrin. During this patient's follow-up, the patient's OCT including ultrawide-field OCT showed transvitreal fibrin bands, subretinal fibrin, as well as subretinal fluid in the right eye. The degradation of intravitreal fibrin bands as well as decrease in subretinal fluid were noted 2 days after intravitreal TPA and suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone acetonide. The subretinal fibrin was partially reabsorbed and displaced after repeated injection of TPA and air tamponade placement 1 week later. Subsequent follow-up showed complete resolution of the subretinal fibrin and subretinal fluid as well as improved visual acuity. In summary, we describe a case of fibrinoid reaction after vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy which was successfully treated. Wide-field OCT may also be used to assist in the recognition of this phenomenon.
