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

Since its first introduction more than 30 years ago, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized ophthalmology practice, providing a non-invasive in vivo cross-sectional view of the structures of the eye. Mostly employed in the clinical setting due to its tabletop configuration requiring an upright patient positioning, the recent advent of microscope-integrated systems now allows ophthalmologists to perform real-time intraoperative OCT (iOCT) during vitreoretinal surgical procedures. Numerous studies described various applications of this tool, such as offering surgeons feedback on tissue-instrument interactions in membrane peeling, providing structural images in macular hole repair, and showing residual subretinal fluid or perfluorocarbon in retinal detachment surgery. This narrative review aims at describing the state of the art of iOCT in vitreoretinal procedures, highlighting its modern role and applications in posterior segment surgery, its current limitations, and the future perspectives that may improve the widespread adoption of this technology.
