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

purposeOutcomes of retinal detachment (RD) have been discussed in detail in many reports of patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). This study tries to understand the outcomes of vitreoretinal (VR) surgery for indications other than RD in the eyes with RP.

methodsThis is a retrospective study that includes clinical data from January 2013 to December 2021. Patients with RP who were treated with a VR surgical intervention were included in the study. The primary outcome of the study was to assess the changes in best-corrected visual acuity.

resultsForty-four eyes of 40 patients with RP were included in the study. Nearly half of the eyes (43%, 19/44) presented from 1 month to 1 year after the onset of diminished vision, with or without floaters. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at presentation was 1.30 ± 0.79 logMAR (20/400 ± 20/125). The major surgical indications were vitreous opacities (43.2%, 19/44) and subluxated/dislocated cataractous lenses (25%, 11/44). The median follow-up duration was 8 months (interquartile range (IQR): 1.5-27). Approximately 77% (34/44) of the eyes had improvement in vision. The mean postoperative BCVA at the last follow-up was 0.95 ± 0.73 logMAR (p-value: 0.03).

conclusionsMost eyes with RP recovered well after VR surgical interventions, with short-term improvements in visual acuity. It may be crucial to address the vitreous opacities and membranes as they hinder the residual central island of vision in RP. However, appropriate counselling is required regarding the progressive nature of retinal neuronal degeneration.
