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

purposeTo investigate the risk factors associated with recurrent hemorrhage following vitrectomy surgical intervention for diabetic retinopathy (DR).

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 579 eyes diagnosed with DR necessitating surgical intervention. These cases were categorized into two groups: recurrent hemorrhage and non-recurrent hemorrhage. Comparative, random forest (RF), and regression analyses were subsequently performed to evaluate variables pertaining to patients' demographic information, clinical examination and blood test results, treatment approaches, lifestyle habits, and overall health status.

resultsThis study compared patients with recurrent and non-recurrent hemorrhages, revealing significant differences in factors such as endodiathermy, anticoagulant use, cerebrovascular diseases, smoking status, glycosylated hemoglobin levels and BMI. Patients with no recurrent hemorrhage have faster vision recovery. The univariable logistic regression analysis indicated that cerebrovascular disease (OR = 7.87, P < 0.001), anticoagulant use (OR = 16.72, P < 0.001), and elevated glycated hemoglobin levels (OR = 21.22, P < 0.001) exhibited strong associations with recurrent hemorrhage. The multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that recurrent hemorrhage risk factors include anticoagulant use (OR = 120.77, P = 0.020) and glycated hemoglobin levels (OR = 18.41, P = 0.001).

conclusionsRecurrent postoperative hemorrhage is influenced by several factors, notably the use of intraoperative endodiathermy, adjustments in ocular therapy, and management of the patient's systemic condition. In clinical practice, careful consideration of these factors is essential to mitigate postoperative hemorrhage in patients.
