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

introductionPars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is a primary surgical method for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The introduction of the 3D head-up system has provided ophthalmologists with a new surgical experience. This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes between 3D low-light intensity-assisted and traditional eyepiece-assisted PPV for RRD.

methodsA prospective randomized controlled design was employed to compare the surgical outcomes of 3D low-light intensity-assisted and traditional eyepiece-assisted PPV for RRD. The optical intensity parameters of optical fibers and chandeliers were set according to the minimum lighting standard for 25-G PPV. Surgery duration and intraoperative conditions were documented. Post-surgery, the light intensity of the optical fiber and chandeliers during surgery was measured using a photometer. Patients were followed up for six months to assess their postoperative recovery. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software, with p < 0.05 indicating statistically significant differences.

resultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in baseline data (p > 0.05). PPV was completed in all patients, and there was no statistically significant difference in surgery time between the two groups (p > 0.05). The optical fiber and chandelier light intensity in the 3D group were significantly lower than those in the eyepiece group and the difference being statistically significant (p < 0.001). Six months after surgery, the retinal attachment rate was 100%. Post-surgery, both best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) were significantly higher than presurgery levels. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of retinal attachment rate, BCVA, IOP, and flash electroretinogram (p > 0.05).

conclusionCompared to the traditional eyepiece, the 3D head-up system can effectively complete surgery under lower illumination intensity. The anatomical restoration and functional success of the retina after surgery are equivalent.
