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 evaluate surgical outcomes and prognostic factors related to visual acuity (VA) in endogenous MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included patients diagnosed with EKE who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Patients were divided into two groups based on the best-corrected VA (BCVA). Eyes with BCVA worse than counting fingers (CF) were classified as having poor vision, while those with BCVA of CF or better were classified as having good vision. Prognostic factors for poor outcomes were identified using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression.

resultsOverall, 64 eyes from 56 patients with EKE were included, of which 51 eyes (43 patients) underwent PPV. At final follow-up, BCVA had improved among patients with PPV. In this subgroup, the mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) VA improved from 2.269 ± 0.570 to 2.092 ± 0.713. The VA preservation rate was 86.667%. LASSO and logistic regression showed that three predictors of poor outcomes: poor initial VA, presence of corneal edema, and delayed PPV.

conclusionsEarly PPV is associated with improved VA outcomes in EKE. Poor initial VA, corneal edema, and delayed surgery were significantly associated with worse visual prognosis.
