Refinements in the use of silicone oil as an intraocular tamponade.
Review in Eye (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
It is over 60 years since Paul Cibis et al. reported the experimental use of liquid silicone in the surgical management of retinal detachment. Initial experiences were complicated by significant side-effects associated with the impurities in the non-medical grade commercial silicone oils deployed at the time. These were substantially reduced (but not eliminated) by the adoption of refined high-viscosity medical grade silicone oils. Two of the major complications associated with silicone tamponade are (i) the variability of focus due to its movement and higher refractive index, and (ii) progressive emulsification, particularly with low viscosity oils. This article reviews recent and ongoing research on the causes of emulsification of intra-ocular silicone oil to understand the causes better and thereby reduce this risk, especially for those eyes where permanent tamponade is the only current option for retaining vision.
