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 characterize the anterior segment (AS) morphology of patients with long-term silicone oil (SiO) in situ (> 12 months) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
methodsThis prospective, comparative characterization study was conducted between January 2022 and July 2023. Patients were included and sorted based on if they had undergone PPV without long-term SiO or had SiO in situ for at least 12 months at the time of review and image collection. The Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss, Dublin, California, USA) was employed to image the ASs of study patients. Software within the OCT was used to collect the central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber diameter (ACd), anterior chamber depth (ACD), chamber area, temporal irideocorneal angle and nasal irideocorneal angle.
resultsA total of 78 eyes from 42 total patients were included, their mean age was 63.74 ± 19.13 years and 64.29% (27/42) of participants were males. Patients who underwent PPV with and without long-term SiO were found to have no significant difference in CCT, ACd, ACD, chamber area and irideocorneal angles compared to their fellow unoperated eyes. The multivariate analysis of variance of the pooled data noted a statistically significant difference in the ACd of PPV with long-term SiO eyes compared to PPV without long-term SiO and unoperated eyes (p = < 0.001).
conclusionThese findings suggest PPV with long-term SiO may alter the AS morphology of patients, its influence on the development of OAG remains unclear and warrants further investigation.
