The effect of adjuvant Mitomycin C during vitrectomy on functional and anatomical outcomes in patients with severe diabetic tractional retinal detachment.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the effect of adjuvant Mitomycin C (MMC) use on the anatomical and functional success of vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) in severe diabetic tractional retinal detachment (dTRD) patients.
methodsA retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing VRS due to severe dTRD was conducted. Patients were categorized into those who received 20 µg/0.1 mL MMC via MMC sandwich method (Group 1) and those who did not (Group 2). Demographics, surgical characteristics, visual outcomes, and complications that may related to MMC were analyzed.
resultsA total of 25 eyes were included, 13 in Group 1 and 12 in Group 2. No statistical difference was observed in baseline characteristics between the groups. The mean best-corrected visual acuity was 1.90 ± 0.43 logMAR and 1.93 ± 0.41 logMAR preoperatively and 1.60 ± 0.78 logMAR and 1.56 ± 0.78 logMAR postoperatively in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.154). The postoperative mean intraocular pressure was 16.23 ± 2.55 mmHg and 13.08 ± 4.94 mmHg in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.225). The rate of re-surgery was significantly lower in Group 1 (0% vs. 41.7% in Group 2, p = 0.015). Retina was attached in all patients at the last visit. No MMC-related complication was recorded.
conclusionIntraoperative adjuvant MMC application for severe dTRD significantly reduces re-surgery rates with good anatomical and functional outcomes safely.
