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

Animal models have demonstrated that structural changes affect the macula during peripheral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. This study aimed to assess photoreceptors, retinal and choriocapillaris perfusion in non-macula involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment by analyzing en-face images from structural OCTA segmented at the ellipsoid zone (EZ) level, calculating (1) "normalized" reflectivity as a surrogate biomarker of photoreceptor damage (2) perfusion density (PD), vessel length density (VLD) and vessel diameter index (VDI) of superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) (3) perfusion density of choriocapillaris (PDCC). Twenty-one eyes affected by macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) were enrolled at the University "G. d'Annunzio", Chieti-Pescara. The fellow unaffected eye was used as control. The mean age at the onset of RRD was 60.09 ± 10.22 (range 34-83). Compared with fellow eyes, we found lower EZ "normalized" reflectivity in macula-on (0.42 ± 0.15 in fellow eyes and 0.31 ± 0.09 in macula on p = 0.004). The affected eye was also characterized by impaired perfusion in SCP (17.26 ± 3.34% in macula on and 20.56 ± 3.62% in the fellow eye p = 0.004) and CC (50.21 ± 6.20% in macula on the eye and 57.43 ± 6.20% in the fellow eye p = 0.004). Macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment has subclinical changes in photoreceptors, SCP, and CC. Future longitudinal studies should evaluate if early changes could impact post-operative macular function.
