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

purposeThe purpose of the study was to analyse the surgical management and outcome regarding axial length in the population affected by pseudophakic retinal detachment (PRD) 2015-2020.

methodThe patients included were from an observational cohort study of patients undergoing cataract surgery in the region of Skåne during 2015-2017. Data were retrieved from the Swedish National Cataract Register and cross-referenced with cases of PRD in the same region from 2015 to 2020. The surgical method used and findings at follow-up were recorded. The patients were stratified according to axial length (AL) to <25 mm, 25 ≤ n < 26.5 mm and ≥26.5 mm. The main outcome was primary success with one surgery apart from silicone oil removal. The secondary outcome was postoperative visual acuity.

resultsIn the whole study group of 58 624 cases, complete follow-up data were available for 288 eyes. The median follow-up time was 324 days, and primary operation was successful in 82.9% of these cases. The median visual acuity was 0.31 (LogMAR). In the stratification those with AL < 25 mm had a primary success of 75.8%, AL 25 ≤ n < 26.5 mm of 87.9% and ≥26.5 mm of 95.8%.

conclusionsThe primary anatomical success was 82.9% in the whole group of PRD but with stratification they had an increasing number of primary success with longer AL.
