Anterior Uveitis From Retained Perfluorocarbon Liquid in the Anterior Chamber, A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCL) are routinely used in vitreoretinal surgery to flatten the retina and push subretinal fluid. Perfluorocarbon liquid retention is a common complication of vitreoretinal surgery. While retention in the posterior chamber can lead to an inflammatory response, PFCL in the anterior chamber has been shown to be generally well tolerated. Patients and Methods: This report summarizes the findings and treatment of a patient with pathologic myopia and a history of retinal detachment in the left eye repaired with pars plana vitrectomy presenting with one week of blurry vision in the left eye. He was found to have an initial intraocular pressure of 54 mmHg in the left eye along with 1+ conjunctival injection, fine and medium-sized keratic precipitates on the cornea, and 30 cells per high power field. Additionally, there was a retained perfluorocarbon liquid bubble in the anterior chamber from his original retinal detachment repair surgery. Results: After being started on topical steroids and pressure lowering medications, the patient had persistent inflammation and elevated intraocular pressures. The patient's anterior uveitis and elevated intraocular pressure resolved with removal of the perfluorocarbon liquid bubble by anterior chamber tap. Conclusion: Retained PFCL in the anterior chamber can cause anterior uveitis and can be promptly treated by removal.
