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

backgroundTo present the iridectomy combined with posterior approach anterior chamber gas injection technique for the treatment of extensive Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD), which is a novel surgical approach for the management of DMD after phacoemulsification. CASE PRESENTATION: The surgical technique was performed on a 68-year-old female with a history of cataract phacoemulsification surgery and two times of anterior chamber gas injection to treat DMD. After creating a scleral tunnel at 4 o'clock of the limbus, the iris root in that direction was cut off. This was confirmed via an iris root incision indicating that the syringe needle entered the posterior chamber through the scleral tunnel. The anterior chamber was filled about 3/4 with 16% C3F8. After surgery, patients were required to maintain a supine position without pillows. One month post-surgery, the cornea was transparent, DMD had fully recovered, and the best corrected visual acuity improved to 20/20.

conclusionsThe iridectomy combined with a posterior approach anterior chamber gas injection technique can be used as an alternative surgical option for the management of extensive DMD in patients who have undergone several ineffective anterior chamber gas injection surgeries.
