Removal of subretinal proliferative vitreoretinopathy: case series and literature review.
Article in International journal of retina and vitreous, 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
backgroundTo present the results of a simplified technique for removing subretinal proliferation bands (SPB) using membrane forceps and a vitrectomy aspiration cutter.
methodsRetrospective interventional case series.
resultsOut of 241 eyes (241 patients), 31 (13%) had SPB detected preoperatively or intraoperatively and underwent pars plana vitrectomy with SPB removal using membrane forceps and an aspiration cutter. Of these 31 eyes, the most common PVR grade was C3 (39%), while the most severe was D1 (10%). 61% of eyes underwent a combined scleral buckling procedure, and all eyes were tamponaded intraoperatively. SPB was completely removed in 74% (23/31) of cases. Intraoperative complications were detected in 10% (3/31): retinal hemorrhage (2/31) and subretinal hemorrhage (1/31). 84% (26/31) had complete retinal reattachment after a median follow-up time of 10 (range, 2-32) months, and 74% (23/31) of patients reported an improvement in BCVA after surgery.
conclusionsConclusions: For SPB removal, the use of an aspiration cutter can improve grasping of the band and its stump, reduce band fracturing, and minimize instrument exchanges during removal.
