Preoperative Widefield Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Versus Intraoperative Findings in Detecting Posterior Vitreous Detachment.
Article in Translational vision science & technology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose: To assess the accuracy of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in detecting complete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in comparison with intraoperative findings. Methods: The retrospective study included 145 eyes of 145 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for epiretinal membranes or macular holes. Within a week prior to surgery, PVD status was evaluated by SS-OCT with a depth of field of 3 mm and a capture window of 16 × 8 mm. Complete PVD was identified when the hyaloid condensation was visible clearly on any B-scan or when the vitreous cortex reflectivity was not visible on all 33 B-scans. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of SS-OCT for detection of complete PVD were then compared with those evaluated during a triamcinolone acetonide-assisted vitrectomy. Results: Of the 101 eyes diagnosed as complete PVD by SS-OCT preoperatively, 97 eyes were found to have complete PVD and four eyes were found to have attached vitreous intraoperatively. Of the 44 eyes categorized as attached vitreous by SS-OCT preoperatively, 43 eyes were graded as attached vitreous and one eye was graded as complete PVD during surgery. The sensitivity of SS-OCT for detecting complete PVD was 99.0% and the specificity was 91.5%. The positive predictive value and the negative predictive value were 96.0% and 97.7%, respectively. Conclusions: Widefield (16 × 8 mm) SS-OCT showed high accuracy for the diagnosis of complete PVD in patients with epiretinal membranes or macular holes. Translational Relevance: Widefield SS-OCT has great potential to evaluate PVD status preoperatively and explore the mechanisms of vitreoretinal diseases.
