Modification of the pneumatic retinopexy for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with multiple-quadrant retinal breaks.

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: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a modified pneumatic retinopexy (PR) procedure for patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), particularly those with multiple-quadrant retinal breaks that spanning more than three clock-hours of retinal arc. Methods: This prospective case series included ten eyes of ten patients, all of whom underwent the PR surgery during hospitalization. The modified PR technique involved an intravitreal injection of a low concentration of perfluoropropane (14% C Results: After the modified PR surgery, retinal attachment was achieved in 9 of the 10 eyes (90%). The single case of failure, due to significant vitreous hemorrhage following gas injection, underwent a vitrectomy and received retinal attachment. Permanent retinal attachment was achieved in all cases (100%) at the last follow-up with no adverse events. The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was improved significantly at 6 months post-surgery. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential of modified PR to achieve high success rates in RRD cases with multiple-quadrant retinal breaks cases involving superior retinal detachments and early proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
