Outcomes in Recurrent Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair: Does Scleral Buckling at Primary or Secondary Surgery Impact Results?
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background/Objectives: To analyze outcomes in recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (re-RRD) repair using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with scleral buckle (SB) at the first or second surgery. Subjects/Methods: Patients with primary uncomplicated RRD at initial presentation who were operated for re-RRD between 2014 and 2018 were included in this retrospective cohort study (n = 127). Patients were compared based on first and second surgery sequence: PPV then PPVSB (PPV-PPVSB: n = 51, 40%), or PPVSB then PPV (PPVSB-PPV: n = 76, 60%). Anatomical and functional outcomes were evaluated with second surgery success (2SS) defined as absence of reoperation after the second surgery and final pinhole visual acuity (PHVA) in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), respectively. Results: Mean age at initial presentation was 65.7 years. There were 78 (61%) men and 56 (44%) pseudophakic patients. Median [Q1, Q3] baseline PHVA in logMAR was 0.70 [0.18, 2.30]. SB at first or second surgery did not significantly alter 2SS (PPV-PPVSB: 38, 75% vs PPVSB-PPV: 57, 75%; p = 1.00) or silicone oil use at second surgery (PPV-PPVSB: 18, 35% vs PPVSB-PPV: 36, 47%; p = 0.40). At final follow-up, PHVA did not significantly differ by sequence (p = 0.16). Conclusion: In re-RRD repair, SB at first or second surgery did not alter 2SS and final PHVA.
