Article in European journal of medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04257188 (A Prospective, One-center Clinical Trial to Identify the Safety and Feasibility of Sutureless Pars-plana Vitrectomy Performed in Sub-tenon Anesthesia.), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundTo determine the safety and feasibility of sutureless pars-plana vitrectomy (ppV) in sub-Tenon anesthesia.

methodsIn this prospective study. Pain and anxiety at various times after ppV using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and Wong-Baker-FACES scale as well as visual sensations during surgery were investigated. The surgeon evaluated motility, chemosis, overall feasibility.

resultsppV was performed on 67 eyes (33 sub-Tenon anesthesia, 34 general anesthesia). Pain during surgery in sub-Tenon anesthesia was 1.8 ± 2.2 (0.0-8.0), anxiety was 2.3 ± 2.2 (0.0-8.5). There was a moderate correlation between pain and anxiety (R

conclusionsSutureless pars-plana vitrectomy in sub-Tenon anesthesia was performed safely, with pain and anxiety levels tolerable for the patients and without the necessity for presence of an anesthesiologist. With 88.9% of patients willing to undergo vitreoretinal surgery in sub-Tenon anesthesia again, we recommend it as a standard option. Trial registration This study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Review Board of the RWTH Aachen University (EK 111/19). This study is listed on clinicaltrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04257188, February 5th 2020).
