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

purposeTo report the surgical approaches and outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for retinal detachment associated with retinal dialysis.

designRetrospective, consecutive case series. SUBJECTS: All patients who underwent surgery for retinal detachment secondary to retinal dialysis between January 1, 2012, and January 1, 2022.

methodsRetrospective consecutive case series.

main outcome measuresBest-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), single-operation success rate.

resultsThe study cohort included 60 eyes of 58 patients with a mean age of 26.4 (standard deviation, 13.0) years. Males comprised 49 (84.5%) patients. Known trauma occurred in 35 (61.4%) cases. Initial surgical management included scleral buckling (SB) in 49 (81.7%) eyes and combined SB and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in 11 (18.3%) eyes. Preoperative BCVA correlated with BCVA at last follow-up visit (r = 0.66; P < 0.001). At last visit, the SB group had a mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA of 0.36 (20/46) and a single-operation success rate of 76.9% at 6 months, whereas the SB/PPV group had a mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA of 1.08 (20/238) and single-operation success rate of 77.8% (P = 0.04 and P = 0.96, respectively). Six eyes in the SB/PPV group received silicone oil tamponade. In eyes with at least 1 year of follow-up, 4 (14.8%) in the SB group and 6 (100%) in the SB/PPV group developed a visually significant cataract requiring cataract surgery (P < 0.001).

conclusionsRetinal detachment associated with retinal dialysis is typically associated with trauma and more often occurs in young male patients. The current study confirms that SB without PPV is an effective initial treatment strategy for most patients with retinal dialysis and has a low rate of cataract formation.
